Except when those legislators vote against banning child marriage. These laws have been attempted to be changed or enacted. The vast majority of child rapists are family members. It’s not that hard to find willing parents. I’m not sure if you’re trying to defend the US for the overwhelming number of states that statutorialy support child marriage, or are just unaware of the fact that laws to change this get brought up, and then shot down. 300,000. That’s how many children were married since 2000. That’s over 10,000 children being married off a year. -95 of them being little girls, the vast majority being married to adults so they can be legally raped. This is the fucking United States of America we are talking about. The place that elected a child rapist twice now. There is no moral washing of this hideous fact.
