OK, so here's the deal in #Michigan:
@GovWhitmer yesterday signed *most* of the 10-bill package championed by Sen. @SarahAnthony517 and Rep. @KaraHope74 to #EndChildMarriage in #MI. /1

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
