Its hard for me to find Polygamy, on its face, to be illegal so long as it is between consenting adults and not children forced into it. HOWEVER, my BEEF with polygamy is that VERY OFTEN these "families" have many multiples of children, cannot afford them, and WE THE PEOPLE end up supporting them. 90% or more of the people would agree that its hard enough FINANCIALLY raising even TWO children today, to think that they can AFFORD to raise 5, 10 or more is PREPOSTOROUS and thus FOR THAT REASON if for none other it should be banned. jdn

ps: I am only addressing FINANCIAL matters. I would agree that looking at it purely from the childs viewpoint it very well might be good to have more then one mother available within the household for parenting.
