I know I”m wasting my words on here but I”ll try again. Polygamy by itself when practiced by consenting adults does not equal child abuse, welfare fraud, or rape. There is a difference people.. I find the way many sheeple on here just listen to what the media feeds them very similar to liberals... why don’t you go out there and educate yourselves if you want to comment on something?
There are already laws against abuse, rape, and fraud.. prosecute those.. doesn’t mean that everyone who believes that adults can truly love more than one person wants children raped etc.... just because you don’t get it doesn’t mean it isn’t valid.. leave the government out of marriage. Why is it acceptable to have multiple mistresses and affairs but not ok for a man to do the right thing and marry 2 women that he loves? as long as they are all consenting adults, what business is it of anyone’s? There are plenty of people who believe this way who are not FLDS.

So a guy fathers—let’s say 35, since we have an example of that—35 kids, with, oh, let’s say 21 wives. Can we talk about quality time with wives OR kids? How much of it can be allotted to each of the 56 people in that guy’s family? How much actual guidance can we expect those kids to receive? How much love and affection can those wives expect—or is it all just for sex? I can hear it now: Sorry, Betsy, no time for cuddling, Marge and Alice are waiting for their turns.

And then, how much joy among the wives, knowing that competition in this “marriage” is everything. One of the wives who left the fLDS told of how that very competition led to child abuse: if they couldn’t slap one of their sisters, they’d take it out on that sister’s kids.

Polygamy is just plain SICK. And that’s my opinion, and I’m entitled to it. If it ever does come up for a vote, I will campaign against it, not to mention vote NO.

The logical progession of your post would be this: "Why is it acceptable to have multiple mistresses and affairs but not ok for a man to do the right thing and marry ANOTHER MAN that he loves?
