    Ah I think I’m misremembering where I got that from. Maybe heritage foundation. I tried googling but I can’t find the source. I watched some of their “training” videos.

    I’m sure I saw something where there was a plan to lower age of marriage for girls. Maybe it was just from a few nutty conservatives. But I was pretty sure there was something in there about trying to get girls to have babies while still teenagers. And being religious, the girls need to be wed.

    Sorry I can’t find any credible source so I can only assume I’m mixed up or I heard it from an un-credible source and can’t remember.

    Only thing I found was a few stories on nutty conservatives.

      No, that’s great. It’s the difference between actual policy initiative, which will get real tax dollars and resources thrown behind it, and just something the average MAGA christofascists want, which was never a big secret. This is a relief. Thank you for looking, I really appreciate you taking the time to answer.
