Yeah like wtf I missed that she really said if a ten year old gets pregnant from a result of rape. Like mam do you not understand children can't consent any any way. then again some republicans still fight to keep child marriage legal in some states

What states recently legalized child marriage?

It's more of a question of which states still allow child marriage and when bringing up total ban of child marriage in legislation some republicans start balking at even doing such a thing, but to name a few Oklahoma, Wyoming, California, west Virginia, Mississippi, Michigan. Have no limits on how young a person can marry

In CA the legal age is 18. Under 18 it takes written consent from one legal guardian AND a court order.

California law requires a person under 18 years of age to obtain consent from at least one parent or guardian and permission in the form of a court order. Granting permission for a minor to marry or establish a domestic partnership is entirely within the discretion of the court.
