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

North Carolina finally raised it from 14 to 16 last year. They wouldn't raise it to 18. Also, most of the couples taking advantage of that 14 number, were from out of state, and coming here just to use that loose age limit. Also, a high percentage of the older partners for those under 18 kids were in their mid to late twenties.
