Sen. #TedCruz is warning that the #RespectForMarriageAct could allow states like #NewYork, #Massachusetts & #California to legalize #ChildMarriage & then force other states to recognize child marriages as legitimate. He even introduced an amendment to prevent this atrocity. /1
Sen. Cruz appears to be unaware that his home state of #Texas still allows child marriage, while New York and Massachusetts each banned it in the last year. /2
And he seems to be unaware that 43 U.S. states still allow child marriage, and that a marriage that happens in one of those states must be recognized as legitimate in every other state. /3
Now that Sen. Cruz has made clear how deeply concerned he is about child marriage in the U.S., we call on him to join us and our allies to help #EndChildMarriage in Texas, California and every other state and at the federal level. @FoxNews
