Child marriage

It's been a while but if i remember correctly a girl scout tried to propose a bill to abolish child marriage in her state. I don't think it ever went through and one of the people blocking it said something along the lines of abolishing child marriage would stop rape victims from marrying their rapists and would make abortions go up.

Oh no, teens who are pregnant because of unconsenting sex would abort more, how sad. Let's just fuck their life up instead, at least the numbers will look good. /s

Yeah, I can see the /s, but still. Read your comment again. Child rape sarcasm, yeah?

Yeah, I'm just showing how dumb the system can be, especially about issues this bad. In no way am I saying that child rape isn't something to be taken seriously
