GOP official argues in favor of child marriage: Girls are ‘ripe’ and ‘fertile’

Twenty states don't set minimum age for girls to marry

www.nj.com

The New Hampshire House passed a bill to ban child marriage in the state and raise the minimum age of marriage to 18.

The measure passed the Senate unanimously in March. On Thursday, it passed the House, 192-174. The bill now goes to Gov. Chris Sununu for signing into law.

One of those voting against was Representative Jess Edwards, whose comments sparked immediate gasps from colleagues.


“… If we continually restrict the freedom of marriage as a legitimate social option, when we do this to people who are a ripe, fertile age and may have a pregnancy and a baby involved, are we not, in fact, making abortion a much more desirable alternative, when marriage might be the right solution for some freedom-loving couples?” he said.

In a state where 18 is not old enough to drink, Edwards believes girls at 16 are old enough to get married. Edwards’ daughter, Elizabeth, served as a state representative, and Edwards said her service was the inspiration for his run for office. He is in his third term.

Eewwww...

If God didn't want teenagers to get pregnant he could have made puberty come later. Who are we mere mortals to question Him?

As parts of the western United States (the southwest in particular) settle in for a "heat dome" over the next several days, I heard on the radio that former President Don Pornleone will be having a rally this weekend in Las Vegas.

An outdoor rally. At noon. It will be in the triple digits by then. Probably somewhere around 102 to 105. What we here in the Phoenix area call "warm." However, for an overweight 77 year old man who "hydrates" with Diet Coke and will probably insist on wearing a suit?

Let's just say I'm hoping for the best. For everyone.

The Republican National Convention (RNC) is set to be held in Milwaukee on July 15; however, the convention’s website featured a banner image of Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam for several months.

There will be around 30K Deadheads in town for the Dead and Company concerts at the Sphere. Maybe they'll slip that 77 year old some blotter. Of course it'd be hard to tell if that 77 year old is tripping or not. He already talks crazy.

I must admit, the thought of Fragilego Mussolini struggling with heat stroke while tripping on acid sounds like fun, but what would he hallucinate? A world where he's still President and women in their 20s and 30s find him attractive? He's already got that going.

Is LSD readily available a Dead concerts? I haven't had it in many years but it was great fun when I did.

Definitely. Way back to the Acid tests and Owsley Stanley. I haven't tried it in over 40 years but it's always available when the Dead come to town. Las Vegas will have a lot of tripping people this summer cuz the Dead are in residence at the Sphere from May 17 through at least August 10. Three shows a week.

That sounds like a "good" combination.

And the heat advisory has been extended through Saturday. Forecast is 108.

Plenty of water (not a caffeinated product!) and dress reasonably and it's simply unpleasant.

Don't respect it and it can rapidly turn lethal--the desert occasionally claims a tourist. Get beyond the first ring of mountains around the city and you probably have no cell service. By the time someone reports you as missing you're probably dead.

That's what it is right now, not sure where the weather station is but it must be somewhere down on the valley floor. But the whole Las Vegas Strip is down on the valley floor. (I'm almost 600' above it, that's enough to make a bit of difference.)

I'm thinking back to 4 years ago when I was outside cleaning up a fuel spill at the grocery store gas station where I was working. I'd gotten pretty used to doing stuff outside, and that day there was a bit of a breeze, I was in the shade, and for a moment I thought "you know, this isn't so bad." I looked down at my phone to check the temperature.


It was 117.


I'm just saying...
