patriachal theocrats just won't protect women from legalized rape at any age called church wedding documentation
I read today that, after a lot of public shaming, the bill is being reconsidered. I hope it passes.
This kind of attitude doesn't surprise me, though. I lived in Kentucky for about 11 years, and some of the bullshit those people believe is right and moral just confounds me. I'm so glad to be out of there.
Wow! I live in KY, but shit like this still stuns me. Just a lot of backwards ass thinking in this state
Yep! I was born and raised there. Left in the nineties and NEVER LOOKED BACK.
There was an article in the Seattle paper about this. Just another example of religious "morality".
A few years ago a woman, Deepa Mehta, produced and directed several films, " Fire", "Earth" and "Water". It deals with the issue of child brides. It is a head shaking film and the end is a real shocker. Her film won lots of awards from the west but condemnatons and protests from her country, India.
Child marriage is one of the worst aspects of Christianity. As I understand it it is only practiced by some sects but it really victimizes young women. Women ought to have the same right to grow up and determine what they really want out of life as men do. They should not be sold into marriage by their parents before they really know what they want.
AND...not just Christians! Think of Islam.
You have no idea about this horrible practice. See my comment. It is not just Christianity but often a cultural norm for many developing countries.
Opps....I realised that I posted a post....on your post. Yes I do agree that they should have never been able to stop a common sense law....
I wholeheartedly concur....and ditto for the entire GOP. Wackos, every single one of them.
What. The . Fuck?!! Unbelievable especially considering how reasonable the bill is. This is some "get your pitchforks" level stuff here.
