We do not protect children by negotiating how much harm is acceptable. PERIOD.
Colorado lawmakers are considering legislation that would still allow minors to be married if the spouse is within a 10-year age gap.
That is not a ban.
That is not protection.
That is a loophole dressed up as reform.
Children deserve better than partial safeguards and political compromise on their safety.
Colorado SHOULD set the legal marriage age at 18, without exceptions.
Anything less is a failure.
Gov. Spencer J. Cox Rep Lorena Garcia HD 35 Junie4Colorado:
18 no exceptions — or kill the bill.
