Americans Have An Effective Way Of Getting Unfair Laws Regarding Underage Marriage Repealed

For those of you who, like myself, are opposed to the efforts of Fraidy Reiss of Unchained At Last and Jeanne Smoot of The Tahirih Justice Center to ban all underage adolescent marriage here in the United States of America, it looks as though I have found another ally in our quest to fight the agenda of these two femi-Nazi extremists. This ally of ours is called the Children’s Law Center of California, and they do not want state legislatures completely outlawing adolescents younger than 18 years of age from getting married across our nation inasmuch as they know all of the chaos that will ensue on top of the chaos that has already ensued as a result of Fraidy Reiss and Jeanne Smoot’s actions. We all need to stand behind the Children’s Law Center of California in their fight against people like Fraidy Reiss and Jeanne Smoot and the likes.

From time to time as I have surfed around on YouTube, I’ve come across statements in the comments sections of videos in which self-proclaimed child advocates and self-appointed pedo-experts (self-appointed experts on pedophilia, that is) have insisted that every state jurisdiction here in our nation needs to raise its statutory age of consent to TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OLD. Whenever I come across posts like these, I can’t help but to laugh at these people and detest them at the same time, because their suggestion would likely be every child molester and pedophile’s dream-come-true if it were ever to materialize. That is, if such laws were to be passed, the police and all these self-styled “creep catchers” à la Chris Hansen or whatever you want to call them would be spending so much time and be so busy chasing after middle-aged men who were seeking to hook up with women in their early twenties that the true child molesters and the real pedophiles would have more time on their hands and more opportunities than before to sexually victimize small children and toddlers without getting caught. This is the reason why we Americans should never allow these self-proclaimed child advocates and self-appointed pedo-experts to hold any kind of office as lawmakers. Moreover, allowing them to have any kind of significant control over institutions that affect our lives could have disastrous outcomes for all of us. No matter how well meaning these people appear to be, they are not playing with a full deck and they can be more dangerous and lethal than even religious fanatics and cultists. They’re going after a great number of the wrong people, and the real child molesters and the true pedophiles are having the last laugh at them. I loathe child molesters and pedophiles just as much as these people do, if not more so, but the problem with these people is that they make their pursuit of child molesters and pedophiles their entire life insofar as they end up targeting innocent individuals in their line of fire who have nothing to do with child molestation or pedophilia.

I recently stumbled across a tacky article on the Internet that was titled “Child rape loophole: U.S. state seeks to ban underage brides.”  The article was from the RT news agency, but it did not reveal the name of the author who published it. I’ve always found the RT news agency to be very unprofessional and slanted in its reporting. The article was dated March 8, 2016, and it described Bill 415 that was pending legislation in the Commonwealth of Virginia back at the time of that same article’s publication. It is the bill that Fraidy Reiss of Unchained At Last and Jeanne Smoot of The Tahirih Justice Center pushed through legislation to ban all marriage before the age of eighteen with the exception of legally emancipated 16- and 17-year-old minors in the Commonwealth of Virginia. One of the stark supporters of that bill that later became a law was Virginia State Senator Jill Holtzman Vogel. It would serve her right if she were to lose the election in her district on November 5, 2019.  Then again, I wish that all of the elected officials who have ever mirrored her actions in their respective state jurisdictions would meet an identical fate in their political careers. 

The author of the above-described article probably thought that he or she was being clever in wording the title of their article the way they did in how they described Loretta-Lynn-style marriages. The title of that same article also shows how it was written in poor taste. Well, I can frankly testify that the adult men whom I’ve known to have been spouses in Loretta-Lynn-style marriages have treated their wives much better than teenage fathers have treated their underage baby mommies. Some of these adult men have even paid to put their young wives through college. I don’t know of any teenage father who has ever done anything like that for his baby mommy. Usually these teenage fathers bail on their underage baby mommies and then appear back in their lives unexpectedly to misuse their child as a bargaining chip in the court system. At the end of the day, if the author of the above-described article from the RT news agency is going to accuse adult men who are spouses in Loretta-Lynn-style marriages of being child rapists, then he or she might as well start accusing deadbeat teenage fathers of being child rapists as well. In other words, RT journalists do not have the right to rewrite reality and accuse anyone of being something that they are not, and they are caught doing so in that same article of theirs. Now, I am not saying that there haven’t been adult men from Loretta-Lynn-style marriages who haven’t forcibly raped their underage wives at the outset of their matrimony. However, there have been deadbeat teenage fathers who have also forcibly raped their underage baby mommies, and somehow American society simply chooses to turn a blind eye to it. Levi Johnston is a strong example of a deadbeat teenage father who raped his underage baby mommy at one point in time.  Yet femi-Nazi extremists like Joy Behar have expressed their sensual desires about such human garbage like Levi Johnston despite that these same women are supposed to be supporters of the Me Too Movement. How hypocritical of them!

The author of the above-described article somehow believes that he or she was being clever in publishing the names of the state legislators in the Commonwealth of Virginia who opposed the above-described marriage law back in 2016. In reality, this author did a favor to all of us who oppose the agenda of Unchained At Last and The Tahirih Justice Center regarding the marriage laws throughout our nation. Now registered voters in the Commonwealth of Virginia are going to know which state legislators they need to contact to initiate action to seek the repeal of the above-described marriage law that was enacted in their state back in 2016. I would greatly appreciate it if the author of the same article would publish the names of state legislators throughout our nation who have opposed this same agenda by Unchained At Last and The Tahirih Justice Center, because if he or she were to do so, then individuals like myself who oppose this agenda would be able to contact these same legislators in our respective states to seek action to repeal any Draconian marriage law similar to that of the Commonwealth of Virginia that has been shoved down our throats by femi-Nazi extremists who have allied with Fraidy Reiss and Jeanne Smoot to get these ridiculous laws passed. Isn’t it funny how the activities of flamboyant journalists like the one who wrote the above-described article can backfire on those same people? In my previous Steemit article titled “The Great American Controversy Over Underage Marriage,” I provide you with further details regarding this same circus show that Fraidy Reiss and Jeanne Smoot started not too many years ago and how irresponsible journalists in the press and the media have assisted them in unleashing chaos here in the United States of America.

1.  An Unfair Law Can Usually Be Repealed By Popular Referendum

One of my followers here on Steemit asked me an interesting question regarding the marriage laws that have been ratified within the last four years. That is, these marriage laws have either banned underage adolescent marriage altogether or have made it less accessible to teenage minors. This same gentleman wanted to know what these same new marriage laws meant for the future of our nation. He wanted to know whether the damage that societal fundamentalists like Fraidy Reiss and Jeanne Smoot have done to the marriage laws across our nation was irreversible or if it could be fixed. Because I know that he is going to read this article, I’m going to give him the information herein that he requested. The first thing that I can say to him herein is that no law is ever written in stone and just about any law can be repealed easily if the right procedures are followed in certain state jurisdictions of our nation. Moreover, what I have recently discovered in my research on how to get such laws repealed is this one valuable political tool known as a popular referendum.

A popular referendum is basically an action in which someone gathers a certain number of signatures on a petition of individuals who oppose a new law and presents it to the proper authorities so that a proposition, a measure or a question can be placed on the November ballot of that particular state jurisdiction to provide voters with the opportunity to seek the repeal of a law that they may feel is unfair. It’s also known as a people’s veto. The video below explains exactly how this same process works.

A Popular Referendum Is A Way To Get Rid Of An Unwanted Or Unpopular Law

I believe that only 13 states still remain unscathed by the actions of societal fundamentalists like Fraidy Reiss of Unchained At Last and Jeanne Smoot of The Tahirih Justice Center; but don’t hold me to it, because that number is subject to change at any time depending on the latest activities of state legislatures throughout our nation. Anyhow, if you are not lucky enough to live in one of those states, then you may still have the option of getting rid of a new marriage law that has either banned underage adolescent marriage in your state or has made it less legally accessible to teenage minors who wish to get married. You simply have to look into the procedures of obtaining a popular referendum and get a proposition, a measure or a question placed on your November ballot to repeal that same new marriage law. Each state jurisdiction that allows for popular referendums has its own set of guidelines and time limitations. Therefore, the sooner you act upon it, the better chances you will have of getting such a marriage law repealed. Keep in mind, however, that this political tool is not available in every state jurisdiction of our nation, and it is not available at the Federal level.

2.  Find Out Which State Legislators Voted Against New Marriage Law

When you are trying to find out the names of the legislators who voted against a marriage law that either banned underage adolescent marriage altogether or unfairly made the institution of marriage less accessible to teenage minors in your state, sometimes you need to look no further than an online article as the one described above from the RT news agency. If you are unable to do so, there may be records at your state house of delegates or your state senate that will provide you with that information. Even a simple telephone call to a state house of delegates or a state senate to find out such information won’t hurt. Once you find out who these state legislators are who voted against a marriage bill that would ban underage adolescent marriage altogether or would unfairly limit the accessibility of the institution of marriage to minors who wish to wed, these same legislators may even be able to assist you in getting a popular referendum going to repeal such a marriage law.

It is our constitutional right as Americans to say NO to laws like these that legislators have shoved down our throats. Popular referendums are the best way to do so, and it’s a good idea to get state legislators who have voted against such laws to go along with your mission to get a popular referendum going. If you and elected officials who favor your objectives can make a popular referendum happen and get a proposition, a measure or a question placed on your November ballot to repeal a law that may have been passed in your state banning underage adolescent marriage altogether or limiting it unreasonably, then you have jumped over a major hurdle already. However, keep in mind that even though I am optimistic that a popular referendum would repeal these recently enacted unfair marriage laws if everyone were to get out and vote when they were supposed to do so, there is always going to be the concern of low voter turnouts at the polls. In other words, just because you succeed in getting a proposition, a measure or a question placed on your November ballot to allow the people in your state to vote to repeal a marriage law that either bans underage adolescent marriage or unfairly limits it for teenage minors, it does not necessarily mean that the popular majority is going to go along with your objectives to the fullest extent of their abilities. The problem that state jurisdictions have been experiencing lately is that registered voters sometimes don’t appear at the polls to vote on important matters of this nature. You can always encourage those around you to vote on an election day, but they have to be the ones to go to the polls and cast their votes. We also have to keep in mind that if and when any given state successfully obtains a popular referendum to seek the repeal of a marriage law that has either banned underage adolescent marriage or has unfairly reduced its accessibility to teenage minors, societal fundamentalists like Fraidy Reiss and Jeanne Smoot are going to come further out of the woodwork to spread specious propaganda everywhere in your state to mislead people into voting for these new marriage laws to remain undisturbed. Also, the mainstream press and the mainstream media are both notorious for misinforming the public on these issues. That is one of the reasons that writing platforms like Steemit exist. Steemit allows for us to present our arguments and evidence in support of our arguments to refute these people and stop them at their game.

3.  My Conclusion To This Topic

Many Americans are not fighting back against Draconian laws like the marriage laws that state legislators who support the agenda of Fraidy Reiss of Unchained At Last and Jeanne Smoot of The Tahirih Justice Center have been shoving down our throats for the past so many years, because many Americans are unaware of all the political tools we have available to us to repeal these same laws. It’s now time that we all take back our state legislatures and exercise our rights as citizens to ensure democracy.

If the popular referendum process exists in your state, take full advantage of it. If it doesn’t, then it’s time for you to find out which state legislators voted for a marriage law that banned underage adolescent marriage or placed additional limitations on it in your state; and then you need to vote those same elected officials out of office. Also, it always helps to know who is on your side in your state legislature. These elected officials like to hear from you and share with you what can be done to restore the previous marriage laws in your state.
