    I’m at a loss for words. How did this man not get shouted down for saying that out loud and in public?! Those are the thoughts of a predator, which is a position of power.

        In the name of honest, good degenerates, I protest these ghouls being lumped in with us. It’s perfectly sane to want to have sexual relations with eg. military aircraft, and it is much more natural and socially beneficial than what these despicables imply.

        Always have been, however without facing real consequences they’ve grown way too bold!

      When they screamed about the degeneration of Western society it wasn’t a warning it was an announcement. Everything is just projection with these evil cunts

      Full context:

      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.

        Read as:

        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.

        In my mind there is no generous interpretation of his words as there is a paragraph which makes his statement worse in my opinion.

        In a state where 18 is not old enough to drink, Edwards believes girls at 16 are old enough to get married.

        He wants marriage to 16 year olds to be legal; I don’t believe this is a good thing, especially if he also then argued for parental consent for marriages to adult men. It’s a huge red flag to me, personally.

        Yeah but he skipped adoption and the idea that parents can continue to support their daughter even if she’s not a virgin. Teens getting married because one of them got pregnant is not the first thing I want people to think of. A teen marrying her statutory rapist should be even farther down the list.

        I’m deeply familiar with them it’s never been in their nature to say the quiet part out loud in front of everyone! Rather it’s projecting their desires on others to vilify them, hopefully their looser tongues sink their ship. 🤢
