Mormons haven’t had religious rights in America since they were forced to prohibit polygamy as a condition of Utah statehood.

So, to preserve religious rights, should we allow Polygamy?

How about stoning rape victims?

I would only change one word. “Mormons” to “Americans”.

That said, the historical fact is not very well known at all IMHO.

Don’t worry: Polygamy will be back, either as a result of “gay marriage” or Sharia Law.
