This kind of garbage is laying the groundwork for legalizing polygamy. It will accomplish several leftist goals at once.
An increase in radical “freedom” - always a liberal goal, so long as it fits with their cultural agenda.
Further weakening and degradation of the traditional family as the basic unit of society - the family has always been the great enemy of statism.
The next step in the liberal multicultural appeasement of muslims.
A slippery slope indeed.
I agree.
The government will fight polygamy since it affects so many laws that would have to be rewritten. It also affects our tax system and social services. It could be a real mess were it to become widespread.
Jacob had a wife, he then married another wife, he then had sex with them and brought forth children. He later took a slave girl from each one of his wives and brought forth more children. In total he had 12 sons with 4 different women. Those sons became the twelve tribes of Israel.
For background, Abraham had a son by his wife's servant named Ishmael. He had another, the child of promise through his original wife. That childs name was Issac who then begat sons , one Esau one Jacob. Jacob became the father of the twelve tribes.
How bad was Jacobs family in your eyes and Gods I wonder.
I know of quite a few women who lived the feminist dream and are now in their mid to late 30's with no prospects. They are cool girls but the though of being unmarried for their whole life depressing.
Why is it your business if they were fine with living with a married man and he brought up children with these women?
I don't think the government should give tax breaks for these extra wives and would have to cap the child deduction at a certain number but other than that what is the problem?
