House Republicans Block Child Marriage Prevention Act
House Republicans Block Child Marriage Prevention Act: "The bill would ensure that child marriage is recognized as a human rights violation, and develop comprehensive strategies to prevent such marriages around the world. The legislation seemed likely to garner strong bipartisan support in Congress, and in the Senate, it did. But last night, the bill was voted down in the House by Republicans who argued the bill is too costly and could lead to increased abortions -- gripes the measure's supporters say have no basis in reality and are just excuses to kill the popular bill."

Hey, This is Easton. I didn't know you were that interested in politics. Very interesting. Google my name and you will see what I have been doing politically. How are you these days? Look me up on facebook.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! Easton! It's been, like, two years since you wrote this. :-) I was just cleaning up some stuff that I'm not doing anymore and I happened to see this. How are you?!
