A New Hampshire Republican lawmaker who has been under fire for defending child marriage has lashed out at his “haters” while insisting that his stance is “pro-choice.”
State Representative Jess Edwards inspired outrage last week after describing underage teenage girls as “ripe” and “fertile” while arguing against a bill to raise the age of marriage in the Granite State from 16 to 18. The bill passed by a vote of 192-174 despite objections from Edwards and others.
…
Edwards described critics of his underage marriage stance as “an army of control freaks that want to entice a pregnant woman into an abortion rather than allow a marriage” in a Facebook post on Monday.

Nothing Grand about them.
Hello, FBI? This guy right here… Couldn’t be more of a red flag.
Fucking gross people man.
Gross old pervs.
Openly supporting the right to sexually assault children…
#JustConservativeThings
You know…. I wonder if the FBI would take a tip and investigate him.
You know. Just to make sure he’s not sexually assaulted any kids in his orbit.
I’m not actually sure the FBI would be able to do anything about it if he is. There is no federal age of consent, just state ages of consent. Now, if he takes pictures while doing it, that’s absolutely a federal crime.

The guy goes on about personal freedom but then puts it as an either/or that someone gets pregnant and they have one of two choices…
EVERY REPUBLICAN WANTS TO FUCK CHILDREN. YES, EVEN YOU.
(You, if you’re a Republican.)
I doubt they all personally want to fuck children, but they want children to be fucked.
They probably wouldn’t say no if the situation presented itself.
So this guy has shown that he is not smart in the slightest and doesn’t understand basic shit so he should obviously be removed from office and never allowed anywhere near children or in any position of authority ever again. That’s what would happen in a perfect world.
Better yet, people like him would just not exist.
You keep saying that word, I do not think it means what you think it means.
No, they do, they are doing some fascist shit trying to make words and phrases have no meaning.
I used to think minimum age requirements for marriage were unnecessary: who would do that? I only read about it in fundamentalist communities that were inherently repressive, so it seemed like just part of the bigger issue.
I still wonder how you can be bound by a co Tracy you’re too young to legally agree to, and where are the parents and authorities on this
As soon as the egg is fertilised, it’s old enough to marry! It says so in the bible. (Probably)

This sick fuck should move to somewhere where he’d be more at home, like Sudan.
"The Personal Status Law of Muslims, 1991, allows the marriage of a girl from puberty. Ten years-olds can be married with judicial authorization.’
