But we have to marry them off when they're young so they can get more babies out; after all, we know that's all us females are really good for!

[luna_k]

And we need to do our duty as good conservatives & repopulate the planet until there's more of us than ANY OTHER GROUP EVER!

*cries*

One of the really scary things is that conservatives do tend to have more children than liberals!

Damn! I should have married in high school and popped out a dozen liberal kids! *sigh*

I'm pretty sure this woman spawned, too. *shudder*

And remember what the number one indicator of what a woman's lifetime economic status is.

It's not educational level, ethnicity, region, marital status, or whether her parents read to her as a child.

It's the age at which she has her first child.

Let a girl reach twenty without a brat, and she'll get uppity.

Okay, so teenagers aren't seen as emotionally mature enough to handle having sex (i.e. the "abstinence only" sex "ed" these fucktards promote), but they are mature enough to get married at age 14 and raise children? The fuck?!?!

All this law might do is lower Kansas' number of unmarried teen pregnancies. Then they can say, hey, look, our conservative God-fearing policies have decreased the number of unwed teen mothers in the state!

God, SERIOUSLY. Her logic is not our earth logic.

She said if a 14-year-old girl was pregnant and she and the families involved were OK with the girl getting married...

yes, and how often does THAT happen? ajdalskd!

[satellitewish]

Well if it was good enough for the Virgin Mary!

OH fuck that about being a ProAbortion bill.

It's a Pro Chattel bill.

So glad I don't live in that backassward state.

But seriously, as a pediatrician, it's a bill that sanctions statutory rape/sexual abuse of a minor. Minors cannot, though they think they can, consent to sex. Find a pediatrician or child advocate that thinks otherwise, and I'll give anyone here five bucks.

The age of consent for marriage/sex protects impressionable children--male and female alike-- from being sweettalked into things they are emotionally not ready to handle.

So what's next? A bill that condones a teacher screwing his/her student a zillion times.

Disgusting.
