If we agree on one thing, let it be this: That child marriages only contribute to the devastating cycle of poverty, keeping young girls and women from receiving the proper education, and harming them both physically and mentally.
Keating emphasizes the negative impact of child marriages on poverty and education.

democracy is just not a privilege to be taken for granted but a responsibility and a shared one.
we're in the greatest threat globally that we have been in since World War II in this regard.
I hope that, if we do have delays here in the House, and as the terrain hardens and the mud season ends in Ukraine, and the threat of greater attack on the ground by Russia becomes graver, I hope that, if there is a delay in this, that my Republican colleagues will move on a discharge and sign the discharge petition.
I hope that the Speaker has the courage to even allow democracy that so many people fought for a chance to have a vote on this.
