Texas child welfare officials say more than half the teen girls swept into state custody from a polygamist sect's ranch have been pregnant.

Child Protective Services spokesman Darrell Azar says 53 girls between the ages of 14 and 17 were living on the ranch in Eldorado. Of that group, 31 already have children or are pregnant.

Oh, I get it now; the cult leaders must have magic powers that can reach over long distances.

Or perhaps the minors could be harmed by the same women that farmed them out to their “husbands” for sex.

Think it over carefully, and realize that leaving some children behind means that those in CPS custody could be manipulated by the cult.

If you want to pretend you don’t understand, fine.

Those in CPS custody whose whereabouts are unknown to the cult. Riiiiight. Got it now.

Cordially,

The women farm out the pre-teens for sex, too?

>> 22 of the first 53 girls had never been pregnant. They were seized as well, and we don’t know if there was any evidence that they were being sought out for sex, or in any danger of abuse. <<

My first reaction as I read your post was of physical revulsion: My God, there are STILL people trying to defend these monsters?

31 out of 53 kids being pregnant establishes that the entire organization was a criminal enterprise. If it’s true that the LDS is as repulsed by polygamy as the rest of us, then the LDS members such as yourself who have lept to a presumptive defense of these horrific monsters have done a grave counter-testimony to their church.

Do you know that when I read your post, it triggered physical revulsion in me?
