There are laws against child abuse, pedophillia, etc.

I support enforcing those laws.

I'll ask you the same questions I asked Ann.
Message 22453065

Which of these do you think are currently illegal? Which do you think fall in to a legal gray area? Which do you think should be illegal? Why?

On the political front, this makes Mitt Romney a liar. I saw him a few weeks ago on TV saying polygamy went out amongst Mormons 100 years ago. Not true.

No it is true, but the Mormon/LDS church can't control what churches formed by former Mormons support and accept. The Mormon church didn't just say "ok we won't support polygamous marriages any more", they have opposed polygamy, and supported it being illegal.

Nice try AS, but you're wrong and off base again.

Rommney is 100% correct. The Church of Latter Day Saints (Mormons) did in fact outlaw polygamy 100 years ago.

The folks who are practicing polygamy down in southern Utah and northern Arizona (as well as British Columbia, mind you) a members of the Fundamental Church of Latter Day Saints (FLDS). Members of the FLDS have been excommunicated from the LDS Church.
