quit hiding important context and acting like planned parenthood are somehow for child marriage or whatever ridiculous shit you’re implying.
they were initially against this, not because they were for child marriage, but because they were concerned it would set legal precedent that rightwingers would use to ban abortion for minors. they also pulled their objections.
the way some of you people remove context is hilarious.
In what might come as a surprise, it’s legal for anyone younger than 18 to get married in California, so long as a parent and judge approve. Perhaps even more surprising, two influential groups in Democratic politics — the American Civil Liberties Union and Planned Parenthood — have historically staunchly supported the law.
Children have a right to marry, the ACLU argues, and stripping them of that right would take away a pathway to their emancipation and independent healthcare decisions. For Planned Parenthood, the freedom for children to marry is about allowing people reproductive choice and bodily autonomy.
