| I think I agree with Vicchio and belverron. The arguments that are used to make these things legal are all the same. The differences come from the reasons of people that don't think they should be legal.
We see polygamy as a way of demeaning women and creating situations for abuse, incset as a way of increasing likelihood for defects, and I don't want to get into homosexuality arguments here. The arguments against each thing is different. I don't say I agree with them, but just thought I would point that out.
Chris, you are probably right about polygamy in many cases, but I don't think they should be connected to Mormons. Mormons are excommunicated if they practice polygamy. And I don't recall who said it, but someone said polygamy was arrogant. I think there are many reasons for polygamy, and placing them all under arrogance or the want of a lot of women is too general. |
