Cue the creepy old white guy talking about their “supple young ovaries,” prolly.

They always want to frame it as telling a ”hard truth“ that underage girls are the most fertile, but to the surprise of nobody that’s not even true. Complication rates and infant mortality rates are higher in teen pregnancies than adults, since they’re not done developing.

A New Hampshire lawmaker who opposed a child marriage ban argued that teens are of a "ripe, fertile" age.

Republican state Rep. Jess Edwards said last week that a bill banning marriage for people under 18 would make abortion more appealing for young people.

New Hampshire lawmaker Jess Edwards is probably a pedophile

The pedophiles have always been the christians/conservatives. They rail against so many groups accusing them of being pedophiles. They constantly scream about "protecting children", yet they are the most guilty of harming children.

I'm sorry, but my only takeaway is that there's a lawmaker named "Hardy Billington" just existing out there. A moronic existence, sure, but he's out there. Mr. Billington, doing bill stuff.
