Wow, MISSOURI did that???
MISSOURI??!??
I'll be deep in the cold, cold ground before I recognize Missouri.
I'm thinking the tipping point has been reached, the pendulum is now moving away from conservatism, and we'll see little upsets like this as rural states begin to shift back. Missouri is facing a hell of a medicaid cut which they can't afford, that may ripple for a while.
Unfortunately they have short memory spans but eventually they'll flip for a generation, like the New Deal era. People will just give up on MAGA and go the other way.
No they wont. They'll continue to blame others and refuse to accept responsibility. There will be no pendulum swing because they will keep reinforcing themselves through radical fascist media expansion.
This is a new article from 1800, right? right?
Abolish Marriage.
We don’t need the state or religious authorities dictating our relationships.
Amen, brother.
Need to do something for stuff like inheritance and visitation rights that's currently coupled (pun intended) to marriage.
National Emergency Contact Database. Sign a piece of paper together to make each other emergency contacts in the eyes of the govt. have as many as you’d like!
Well in my ideal view we would abolish the state and abolish capitalism, so those things aren’t too much of an issue.
That would solve many problems, but stuff like "Who gets to visit you in the hospital?" and "who gets your personal belongings when you expire?" might need some thought. There are likely easy to solve, but still require some thought.
A will amd Power of Attorney do those without marriage. I've been with my partner for 15 years, unmarried, and haven't had a problem with it yet.
I was in a car accident and spent two weeks unconcious in the ICU, so its not like its untested either.
True but a will and power of attourney are also more complicated and expensive to get
Cmopared to standard marriage, are they any better or just extra steps
Nope, you can get the forms online for free.
That's the role of the de facto union. But the civil union usually grants you special conditions, along with your spouse.
Republican men are probably throwing a fit that they won’t be able to legally groom and rape children for “family values” anymore
The year is 2025.......
And America is still this ass backwards.
Least some good news for once.
About fucking time you backasswards rednecks
Where is the loop hole? Emancipation?
Still allowed in a lot of US states
Checked if this was an Onion type article. So glad it isn't.
Bet Republicans are furious
Well, glad I married off my daughter at 14 last year. Knew that was a good decision
My other wives are very happy with their new sister-wife, thank you for your spawn. The dowry is in the mail.
"Do you know any kids who have been married at age 12? I do. And guess what? They're still married," Moon said in response to questioning by Democratic state Representative Peter Merideth.
Child brides aren’t old enough to divorce their husbands.
Old enough to marry but too young to divorce. That's the stupidest thing I've heard this week.
The new Pope's from the US.
This was allowed before?!
Most US states allow it with parental consent.
In theory it's a holdover from times when age based consent was crazy liberal ideology, which for most of the red states means like 1990.
