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
I think this can be interpreted as “young people will inevitably get pregnant”, not “young people should get pregnant”.
Still wrongheaded and cringeworthy, but maybe not as monstrous as it initially looked.
I’m not sure he cares if anyone provides for them. Like many in the GOP, he seems to only care about preventing abortions without any thought to what happens next.

If we ban child marriage, then desperate single mothers will want to have abortions instead of getting married like God intended.
Dude’s literally complaining that children getting abortions is easier than getting children married. No, that sounds exactly as ghoulish and monstrous as it appeared.

No. That’s even worse.
They’re arguing that children should get married to provide for kids.
Reality: the only people that can afford to support not one but two children…. Are creepy old men.
The argument is that because kids might get preggo, they should be allowed to marry them and make them preggo
That’s fucked up.

It originally appeared far worse to me, like the ravings of a pedophile.
