SALT LAKE CITY -- The Utah State Legislature is making sex outside of marriage legal.
In a bill cleaning up Utah's criminal code, lawmakers repealed the misdemeanor crime of fornication. The House passed Senate Bill 43 on a 41-32 vote. It previously passed the Utah State Senate and now goes to Governor Gary Herbert for his signature or veto.
The legislature previously passed a bill removing adultery and sodomy among consenting adults as crimes in Utah. Rep. Paul Ray, R-Clearfield, said court rulings have found the laws are unenforceable and it was time to remove them from the books.
The bill wasn't popular with some of the more conservative members of the Utah House of Representatives. Rep. Merrill Nelson, R-Grantsville, said he objected. So did Rep. Keven Stratton, R-Orem.

For tomorrow, ye may be in Utah
Just in the nick of time. Wouldn’t want to charge Sinator Willard the Rat with fornicating the voters of Utah.
Yeah and what about polygamy? Is that legal too?
It’s high time for a new Big Bang Theory!
Fascinating, since Utah’s delegate seeking statehood (1890) had to sit through a very strong speech by a Senator objecting to Utah’s LDS celestial (plural) marriage....
and, given that the Senator was well-known for his frequent visits to the local whorehouse (one of several serving Congress),
the delegate famously observed that...”at least when I bed them, I wed them”
Polygyny optional. Or polyandry, depending upon the case.
Probably not because it has a lot of bibical backing.
Seriously, 32 senators opposed it? Hey gay marriage is legal in Utah (against the will of the populace) so punishing straight people for being as immoral with criminal penalties just seems unfair.
I guess there are many Utahns who believe in a theocracy.
Wife 1 and Wife 2 look like they are sisters or blood relatives.
Wife #3 looks so young, a teenage girl? Though if she’s 18 or older, she’s legally an adult.
None of this really matters, because such laws banning fornication are unenforceable anyway.
Multiple wives? Sounds like hell on earth to me.
It will be a grand copulation.
