GOP Representative supports 12 year olds getting married but opposes gender affirming treatments.

[Zincwarrior]

Having your nads cut off at 12 is a lot more traumatic than marriage. If the marriage doesn't work out, you can get divorced.

But you can't sew one's junk back on.

You're forgetting about the whole getting screwed at 12 part.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

It is NOT the liberal mind defending legalized pedo-marriage here.

No, but you defend Fn children all up with hormone treatments and puberty blockers.

 

[Oddball]

You are clearly butthurt because you know you can’t defend this lol

I'm not defending anything, dicknose.

 

[bodecea]

Statutory Rape if sex is involved, a void contract if it isn't.

Ah, now you are going to tell us these are sexless marriages?

It just gets deeper and deeper for you, doesn't it?

 

[bodecea]

No, but you defend Fn children all up with hormone treatments and puberty blockers.

It is NOT the liberal mind defending legalized pedo-marriage here.

 

[rightwinger]

Yes I read the OP. Maybe I should highlight it for you: ONE Republican said he was okay with marriages to minors. ONE. Not the entire party. If you have no 12 year olds in the house to explain this to you, respond back and I'll try it again.

LOL

Read the thread and count the number of Conservatives defending Child Brides

In the government schools, the kids are all screwing each other at age 12 or earlier.

No, it isn't ideal. But it isn't as traumatic as genital mutilation.

LOL

Nobody is defending it, just making comparisons to Fn up children with this transitioning BS to under age marriage and what does more harm to children.

 

[bodecea]

LOL

Read the thread and count the number of Conservatives defending Child Brides

How many MAGAt posters saw the title of this thread and thought "I must rush in to defend this!"

Bad news for ya, guys have been marrying underaged girls for generations now. We just started Fn up kids with drugs recently.

 

[BS Filter]

Just look to the Bible belt South.

Yes. Look to wealthy northern liberals like the Roosevelt's. You can't make political hay out of it no matter how hard you try.

 

[bodecea]

No, it isn't ideal. But it isn't as traumatic as genital mutilation.

That makes legalized pedo-marriage ok then?

 

[BS Filter]

We DO bring that out in you, I see.

Free cocktails are a good thing. Thank you for your dumbassery.

 

[bodecea]

Bad news for ya, guys have been marrying underaged girls for generations now. We just started Fn up kids with drugs recently.

So that makes it ok then?

 

[Frankenstein]

Who said this MIssouri pedo-marriage law is limited to two 12 year olds?

Let me ask....what is it that Righties find alluring about 12 year old girls?

Righties? ask Joe about his daughter and showers.

 

[bodecea]

Free cocktails are a good thing. Thank you for your dumbassery.

We're not the ones excusing legalized pedo-marriage.

 

[bodecea]

Righties? ask Joe about his daughter and showers.

You mean that false story?

 

[Bob Blaylock]

Seems a 12 year old is old enough to agree to get married but not old enough to agree to gender treatments

GOP Lawmaker Defends Supporting 12-Year-Olds’ Right To Legally Marry

Missouri state Sen. Mike Moon suggested letting young kids marry while pushing a bill that would block gender-affirming care for transgender minors.

www.huffpost.com

When pressed by state Rep. Peter Meredith (D) about a different bill Moon voted against in the past, which would make it illegal for adults to marry children, the GOP lawmaker doubled down on his support for underage marriage.
“Do you know any kids who have been married at age 12? I do. And guess what? They’re still married,” Moon responded

I have no idea what the rationale is behind protecting the “right” of underage marriage, nor what it would take to convince me that those who support that are correct in doing so.

However, there is absolutely no rational case to be made that supporting this is in any way nearly as fucked up as supporting “gender affirming care”, especially for minors.

In any event, support for underage marriage is certainly not a mainstream position from conservatives./republicans; while support fucking children up for life via “gender affirming care” certainly is, or at least is becoming, a mainstream Democrapic position.

This OP amounts to a very, very poor attempt at a tu quoque, in the form of defending an seriously fucked-up position that is widely taken by one side, because a few freaks and outliers on the other side support a position that. while also wrong, is not nearly as much so as the fucked-up position being so defended.


Of course, the source being cited here is the HuffPost so it is more than likely that the entire story is complete bullshit to begin with.

However, there is absolutely no rational case to be made that supporting this is in any way nearly as fucked up as supporting “gender affirming care”, especially for minors.

Gender affirming care is offered to those young people who have demonstrated an affiliation to the sex opposite to that they were born with.

It is a decision that is not made frivolously and is best made by the child, his parents and medical professionals.

Who didn’t make that list are Republican Legislators who do not care about the welfare of that child and only want to use him as a political pawn to score points with their base

 

[Polishprince]

That makes legalized pedo-marriage ok then?

Not at all.

Just that its less offensive than sexually mutilating children.
