Utah Decriminalizes Bigamy
Newsmax ^ | May 12, 2020 | Tauren Dyson

Posted on 05/13/2020 8:50:21 AM PDT by kevcol

Utah has decriminalized bigamy, which allows two people to marry while one or both of them is already married, to a crime carrying the same penalty as a traffic ticket.
.
.
.
Utah GOP Gov. Gary Herbert signed the bill into law in March and it has gone into effect today.

Republican state Sen. Deidre Henderson, who sponsored the bill, said Utah's previous law never kept people from maintaining polygamous relationships, it only pushed them into the shadows.

Sounds like hell to me.

I think that's why they eventually wised up.

Of course not. That’s unnatural for men.

Each state retains its sovereignty, freedom, and independence, and every power, jurisdiction, and right, which is not by this Confederation expressly delegated to the United States, in Congress assembled.

We wish.

The Bible is very clear on this matter and this is a very very dark spot on an already dark history of the Mormon religion

Mitt Romney did I even say more?

Seriously though marriage is the most important institution in the world without question

The union of one man and one woman to be together forever for all eternity and to create Progeny and raise them in their worldview is the fundamental building block of all of human civilization

All the forces of darkness to try to solve this fundamental building block for all of world history

Rulers would try to take young males away from their parents and turn them into warriors

Communists have tried to indoctrinate children not to listen to their parents

The communal lifestyle states that there is no family there is a large group setting

In the Muslim religion they say that you can have up to four wives

Now this question is for all you married guys out there -would you want more than one wife?

...Aniston and Anderson strike me as a bit high-maintenance.

...and, I was going to say taking Jason Sehorn in a fight wouldn't be easy, but it looks like he is out of the picture.

One of the conditions of them getting statehood was to foreswear bigamy, can we revoke their statehood?

************************************************************

Well one thing about this B.S. if one wife won’t give in, he can always go to one of the other wives...nothing like having your ‘ho city’ right in your neighborhood...

(Shaking head...when are the Mormons (morons) suppose to start walking back to Nauvoo)???

I cannot figure out why any sane man experienced with women would do this.

There’s only so many pickle jar lids to open and bugs to squash - that’s why they only want a guy around part of the time.

Why not? We let the same sex bugger each other. Slippery slope.

“The union of one man and one woman to be together forever for all eternity”

Didn’t read your scripture too close did ya? There is no marriage in heaven. Jesus was clear on that.

If marriage is no longer between one man and one woman, then I don’t see any logical reason it should be limited to two people. If Larry and Moe can be married, why not Larry, Moe and Curly? Next to go will be the prohibition against incestuous marriages.

This is good to hear. Because I never could decide between Jennifer Aniston, Angie Harmon, and Gillian Anderson. Now if I can only get the three of them to move to Utah.

Angie Harmon is actually a conservative...
