Correct. That is why they were removed, but since polygamy is illegal, the removal was justified on that grounds alone.

I'm not for polygamy or adultery. But if you want to define what was going on with the LDS as "polygamy" then you're going to have start taking children away from a large percentage of Americans because millions practice "polygamy". It's not called that, but guy routinely sleep with multiple women. Sometimes they're married, sometimes not. The only difference is that the flds has called it legitimate behavior and formalized it. In both cases it's not marriage recognized by any legal authority.

True. I realize that now. I was wrong and thinking with my emotions rather than my brain.
