Why is Pedophilia and Rape Culture primarily a right wing phenomenon? Pedophilia is inherent to right wing ideology: To them, protecting children constitutes government regulation and overreach; they generally consider other human beings to be property or commodities they feel entitled to within a hierarchy instead of equals. It’s the same reason red states fight to keep ages of consent so low, and why right-leaning men want to force underaged girls to carry their rapists’ babies. Remember MAGA men chanting “your body, my choice“ after the 2204 election? And naturally it aligns in practice, with all the trusted religious leaders and outed traffickers, e.g. GOP megadonor Anton Lazzaro, being continually exposed (See link above).Republicans who have supported human rights abuses of young girls by opposing the raising of minimum marriage age:
• Idaho: Former state Rep. Bryan Zollinger opposed a bill to end child marriage, stating it *went too far in involving the government in a contract. Rop. Christy Zito also opposed.
• Louisiana: Reps. Nancy Landry, Valario Hodges, and Beryl Amendee were among Republicans who opposed raising the age, citing concerns about parental rights.
• Michigan: Reps. Matt Maddock and Angela Rigas were among those who voted against a child marriage ban in 2023. Rigas cited her own family's history. and Maddock argued the bill would not stop predators.
• Missouri: State Sen. Mike Moon stated he knew a 12 year old who married and
guess what? Theyre still married." Tony Lovasco and Darin Chappell voted against a bill to ban all child marriages.
• Now Hampshire: Rep. Jess Edwards argued against raising the marriage age from 16 to 18, referring to teens as "ripe and fortile. Margaret Drye argued there were beneficial circumstances for underage marriage.
• South Dakota: The Senate rejected a bill to raise the minimum marriage age, with 19 Republican senators voting against it in February 2025, including Sens.
Beal, Biano, Carley, Foster, Grove, Hohn, Howard, Hulse, Jensen, Karr, Lapka.
Marty, Nelson, Otten, Perry, Peterson, Pischke, Voight, and Voita.
• Tennessee: Republicans have pushed bills, notably in 2022, to create an
"alternative form of marriage" that would have circumvented age limits entirely, allowing children of any age to marry until public outrage forced them to reverse
• West Virginia: Republican lawmakers in the Senate voted down a bil (HB
3018) to end child marriage in March 2023.
• Wyoming: The Wyoming Republican Party circulated an email to constituents opposing a bill that would raise the minimum age to 16.
Common arguments for opposing the bills often revolve around parental rights, religious liberty, personal freedom/choice, or concerns that restricting marriage would lead to more abortions or "illegitimate" births.
Beware of any Christian movement that acts as though the world is full of enemies to be destroyed rather than full of neighbors to be loved.Beware of any Christian movement that demands the government be an instrument of God's wrath but never a source of God's mercy, generosity, or compassion.-Benjamin Cremer
