A Democratic lawmaker is fighting to end child marriages in California. The law states that you must be 18 to marry without consent but you can get married at any age with parental consent or a judges order. The state doesn't keep track of how many children actually get married each year, some saying in the thousands, others saying much less. Either way San Mateo Representative Jerry Hill wanted to set the line at 18 period but got backlash from Planned Parenthood and the ACLU. SB273 is still floating around Sacramento but its already been shredded by other lawmakers removing the age requirement and only adding some measure to protect children in a court setting. The bigger issue is these cultures who treat women like cattle selling them off to the highest bidder. That can't be tolerated in America and needs to further looked into how many children are married off in California and others who allow it using these types of practices. Turning a blind eye or doing nothing at all doesn't solve the problem nor does it go away. We need really start protecting children and getting rid of these networks that allow them to subvert the system to traffic children for pedophiles. Now you can see why this legislation will go nowhere in Sacramento.
