A Missouri state legislator pushing for a ban on gender-affirming care for minors defended his stance on supporting the marriage of children as young as 12 years old.
"I don’t need to," Meredith said.Video of the senator making the statements made the rounds on social media, catching the eye of California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, who tweeted about them on Wednesday.
Had he been given the time, the spokesman explained, Moon would have clarified he did not support 12-year-old children getting married to adults. During the debate, Moon said he knew kids who were 12 years old when they got married. According to the spokesman, one of the 12-year-olds got pregnant, and the parents encouraged them to get married.
