Republican defends child marriage: I'm "pro-choice"

A New Hampshire Republican lawmaker who has been under fire for defending child marriage has lashed out at his "haters" while insisting that his stance is "pro-choice."

State Representative Jess Edwards inspired outrage last week after describing underage teenage girls as "ripe" and "fertile" while arguing against a bill to raise the age of marriage in the Granite State from 16 to 18. The bill passed by a vote of 192-174 despite objections from Edwards and others.

…

Edwards described critics of his underage marriage stance as "an army of control freaks that want to entice a pregnant woman into an abortion rather than allow a marriage" in a Facebook post on Monday.

My choice is to air these weirdos out and put the wolves on em. Corral these sick fucks up, take away their egregious religious rights, make them pay taxes, correct the ass backwards southern legislation, and put them on lists for being perverts.

Start lighting up their weird clubs and shame them for their perverse lifestyle.
