Idaho: GOP shoots down bill to criminalize child marriage
West Virginia: GOP shoots down bill to criminalize child marriage
Arkansas: GOP eases child labor laws to make it easier to employ 14 and 15 year olds.

These are the people taking away other's rights to "protect the children".
They are the people that get books banned to "protect the children".
They are the people that try to get your votes with "protect the children" slogans.

Their goal clearly isn't really to protect children, otherwise they would when they have the chance to. Go figure.
