FOX 13 News 360: After Utah decriminalized polygamy, some see a culture shift 

I agree

@Ninja Master • excellent point!

Agree!!!

Or women having kids with multiple fathers.

@@brucetec6597or whites women sleeping around with black men and asking a white man to raise her kid

probably not just because im/wife's okay with a bigger family size and or have wife's doesn't mean any of them are pregnant/have-kid's or trying , $$$ living expenses and job's/income something everyone is feeling and parts of the dropping USA birth-rate

Utah also welcomes foreigners wether or not locals like it 😉 so replacement's are a thing

The bible says one man one woman, you are deceived by the Morman church !

Bunch of sickos.

@FatesRival , I agree. If its consenting ADULTS. It's their life to live.

What's the differance in mutiple wives/kids or multiple girlfriends/kids. One says it's ok one says it's not! The one with multiple wives supports his wives/ kids! The boyfriend to many woman baby daddy to many kids majority leaves them to section 8/Welfare taxpayers $$ Think about it!!!

The problem is it isnt just consenting adults making a choice that only affects them , they bring children into the situation , in many cases very young girls are groomed , promised to or married off to much older men , when they divorce children are ripped apart from other children that they have been raised with and led to believe were siblings etc .

Bible says men need their concubines 😂😢

@@rubytuesday1316 I want to start identifying as men

@@krishafyme ? Do you mean "Identifying as a man" ?

Utah Constitution: Article 3 The following ordinance shall be irrevocable without the consent of the United States and the people of this State: [Religious toleration -- Polygamy forbidden.] First: -- Perfect toleration of religious sentiment is guaranteed. No inhabitant of this State shall ever be molested in person or property on account of his or her mode of religious worship; but polygamous or plural marriages are forever prohibited.

@@russelldoncouse9930 That's a contradiction. if you ban a religious practice like marriage, you are banning a portion of the faith and that's reigious discrimination and the enforcement of Christian monogamy on all other religious people.

I wonder how many of those children are eating how many are on welfare but are starving

All wives except for the first legal wife and get welfare, food stamps, and child care.

They all get food stamps

Only if the children are raised with choices, when you're raised to submit and keep sweet or go to he'll, that's not a choice.

Taxes

Yep. They massively abuse the social welfare system. They already got busted for running a multi-million EBT/SNAP scheme across multiple states and got but a slap on the wrist for it. They obviously hold massive sway with Utah's leading politicians. They'll no doubt ramp up their gross abuse of children, adults and the system now that they see idiotic politicians bending to their will. It's downright despicable. The governor's justification for this is literally right out of the FLDS public relations playbook. Warren Jeffs is no doubt quite proud of this achievement and greatly thanks the spineless politicians for helping normalize this despicable behavior. It's mind boggling that after all the documented abuses by polygamist communities, the state would do such a thing.

my wife did end up working and so did her girlfriend/wife's so i don't see anything wrong with this anyway's it's okay if one works and the other is the homemaker better than my childhood of daycare/government-razing-up and abistintey-parenting aka im a feminist career woman and i expect my dad to work 41+ hours if the $$ from me is there im okay with both being home-mom's/wife's

​@@richardprice5978 Degenerate

@ jilldent, yep that’s why welfare fraud is so rampant in Polygamy families and groups 😢

Yes they shouldn't turn to welfare to support them. If you can't support more then one wife, don't marry more!

Multiple husbands is ew. Any woman can have that. But multiple wives. That's really difficult to acquire

What about the children that are brought into the situation or the young girls that are promised to and married off to much older men , what about the young boys who are sent away because the older men with multiple wives see them as competition etc ?

@@shari9721 I’m just saying, it should be one’s freedom to choose

the problem is that most polygamists are FLDS and they have teen brides, yuck

@Heather Alisha Davis This is not, nor EVER HAS, been a Christian nation.

I broke a crackheads pipe he was also heartbroken

The word about anyone that can gauges and homosexuality and commit other crimes are there extra punishments for them

Bro is 90 years old

I bet it was cause HE needs his concubines! Ask the girls of polygamy😢

We were conditioned since birth. Hence illegal CULT !

As soon as the Roman empire, the roman catholic church, and the U.S government under Abraham Lincoln got involved. Research it.

The Bible never prohibited Polygamy. It should have never been criminalized. We can thank a ruling class that feels threatened by strong faithful families

@@MrEliasdl The Bible is not the Law nor the Constitution. Maybe you should become a patriarchal (read autocratic) President and make biblical matters mandatory. 😁

As long as he can support them all. I’m not interested in paying for some guys harem.

and fixing marriage licensing to max 5 ( it's stuck at 1 the others wife's are getting shorted by not getting fair treatment by the government and community ), bad-law's it pasted do, too be part of a dark historical stain in USA 🇺🇸 history and not daily enforced the other issues are separate and enforceable, hearing problems just means it's now in the open not it didn't happen with the bad enforcement/law in place, defiantly not everyone participating in Polly or bi relationship's is a unhealthy one many others are probably well rounded okay now limiting family size to under 15 kids for both monogamy and polly might help with some complaints, and really as a dad please stop at under 5-8 pregnancy's

Polygamy is not Unique to Mormons. USA is a secular nation. Christian (Paul) laws should not be forced on everyone else.

🤣

They won't do that bc now they know they have "competition" and you have "options" .All you have to do is go to sleep in the other room 😂✌️

@@DEUTSCHLAND.007 or they leave because they’re tired of putting of with the man’s b.s.

Llooll

Lol the issue is normally they don’t they use tax dollars to fund the cult

I'm sure their prophet, Warren Jeffs, is quite pleased. You're justification of this behavior is disgusting.

No one should have more than one wife no matter how you look at it, Period. Especially if it is religious motivated.

​@@TeresaMom1 Based on what? Seems biased... 😂

Instead of taking in immigrants and refugees to make up for its declining population, maybe allow polygamy which will provide population increase as in ancient times. Unlike females, males can mate with more than one partner at the same time which why they love the "harem" thing.

Yes! I'm a witness

Reporting of abuse went up. It's coming to light. The abuse was there when it was illegal too, but many of the abused were afraid to speak up.

@@tamsynspackman7090Absolutely! because in all reality where does one go after the report? If we leave behind a child, a pet, a sibling ?? Whos going to take them on as well?? It doesnt happen! Not enough room. Therefor we stay silent as cycles repeat.

@@rubytuesday1316 This is why it should be brought into the light. Make Polygamy legal and then you can go after the abusers, which are present in monogamous marriages too. Your issue is with domestic violence amongst white trash, not with polygamy.

Nope. Paternity is an issue.

@@MrEliasdl I'd say the US should legalize it for both, and let people decide the type of marriage they want.

The problem is all the abuse and child neglect that come with it

@@giuliantoneIIi There's no causation, the child abuse is present in monogamous marriages and no marriage families too. the issue is that the government has always driven this underground, which is why abuse festers. make polygamy legal and bring it into the light and the abuse will go away.

What about those that font but are forced. And what about the children... Most of them suffer in SOME way.

@@adailydaughter6196 out of curiosity do you know any polygamist?

@@adailydaughter6196 Same as to be on any forced monogamy relationship.

I agree. So long as they are all consenting adults, loving parents and pay taxes, who cares?

@@adailydaughter6196 Coercion is always and everywhere illegal. No special laws are needed.

They're not Christians, though... they're some freaky cult who think they'll die and become gods themselves with their own planets to rule over. They're basically Scientologists minus the ancient spaceships 😂😂😂

These polygamists claim federal monies in order to support all their children. It's fraud - and - the men/father's need 2 support their children themselves. They become rich by taking all this federal money 2 support the kids AND the kids get more money if the Father is older.

Agreed but “Christians”keep sticking their noses in everyone’s bedroom.

@@debeichmann236 , You do know the majority of polygamists are Christians, right?

They have minors as wives y’all are sick

@@debeichmann236 * English-church denomination , LDS is christen religion

It’s Utah…

Actually this picture was taken when I was 33. Lol. But thank you 😊

😂🤣 Yay you Holly!

Holly you're a badass. Haha! And your super hot in that picture.

@@hollytimpson3427 if it makes you/others feel better it's bug'd me as a child/pre baptism in the mainstream LDS faith right to now that polygamy was ditched ( and as a 10 year old/now non-religion view's/value's it bothers me and or people saying that i can't care equally for both ) ( and if acted on is something that can get you excommunicated ) just to fit in with the methodist next door or bending to the federal government committing geniside/atrocities as a 20yo 2012~ i was faced with picking one winner as a 19~yo wife but it still bothers me Utah law's and it's main faith shouldn't be like this ( and i didn't have role models to learn how the wedding day would have worked or afterwards at the time as it was figuring out by are-self's ), my girlfriend's without me knowing talked about the idea 1st and asked me if id say yes to both of them on the same wedding day as i already asked one to marry me and the other girl friend and the one i asked didn't feel it was right for me or them to be winner takes all and it put undo-needed stresses on everyone else to me including my family/friends not involved in a weekly basis relationship with 1 of us for forcing monogamy, so what im saying is im for this lifestyle , and i believe it can make you a better person or at least it's something i noticed, just needed more gut's/risk at 21yo to take on the federal government

Try looking up laws about what age marriage is allowed.

Why the number 2?

They should not be allowed to have all those children than turn around and get help from the Goverment. Its away to take religion use it to hurt and abuse children.

@@colbalt95 Theoreticslly, a jurisdiction could permit another number (possibly 0). I am guessing that the traditional number of 2 would pass any legislative process easily and no other number would pass easily. The libertarians and a few others might go for 0 and I myself would be open to hearing the argument in favor of 0. Do you have a number in mind that you think might possibly pass legislatively in your state?

The women just file as single parents and make even more off free benefits and tax credits.

Throuple?

Don't be so jealous!! Having one wife is like eating the same food every night It gets boring.

What about miltiple girlfriends than? @Oregon32Nurse Nurse

@@mr.breakher5491 Yep

No way, I had no idea this still exists. I want 10 wife’s and a whole bunch of kids. Thanks Utah!!

Agreed!

Sure, as long as they are all consensual adults! The government has no business in consenting adults bedrooms!

In the inuit tribe in Alaska, I think...

No

Depends. If they are LDS, no. If they make their own decisions...possibly.

Ew.. A group of woman sharing a man is different then a group of men sharing a woman 🤢🤢🤢

not technically correct anymore Texas and new York passed law or at least has judgement's now in favour of it and LGBTQ thankfully

More than 1 person in a marriage doesnt make it any less of a marriage does it? Besides, divorce is 50-50%, why not allow for people to choose their relationship? The government should kind of but out here unless they're going to help.

@@EagleZtoTheGrave Divorce is a tool and shouldn't be a mainstay. America has a long standing tradition of monogamous marriage. That is alright for most of us - we should honor our united culture.

@@EagleZtoTheGrave Thank you for existing and thank you for being born. 👍☺️🇺🇲✡️✝️

Divorce has only gone through the roof since the criminalizing of polygamy and ushering in of no fault divorce. It's time to end this experiment of making up laws against polygamy that should not have ever existed in the first place.

@@USA50_ Sephardic Judaism still permits Polygamy, only the Ashkenzis forbid it (due to christian pressure)

Are they underage like most of these polygamy groups?

@@Uninspired.Spectator Lots of traumatized mormons in the comments. Polygamy isn't just for mormons, you mormons!

Umm Brazil is also one of the most corrupted places. I’m all for polygamy for adults to be legal but poor comparison.

Brazil had polygamy? I am Brazilian and never heard that.

I'm Brazilian and polygamy is not allowed in Brazil.

Taxes. I say eliminate tax breaks for marriage and children. They are all choices. all adults must pay their fair share of taxes

@@carsi7282 that's easy have you figured out business-tax wow loopholes and traps golre, so figuring out 5-marriage tax is doable

Nonsense.

@@kf1000 bs you its true

That's only because it has been criminalized when it never should have been.

@@MrEliasdl Nope. Regardless of the legal status polygamy has no place in a civilized society.

@@JDog2pt0 you seem threatened by polygamy. I wonder why

Nah! I support men engaging in heterosexual polygamy. Hopefully there'll be more men for me!

you must not like Abraham Jacob, David, or Solomon.

​@@user-bp8hd9xj8kReally? Written by men who need their concubines!

Thank you! From a descendant of LD$ FLD$ psychopaths 😢

@@rubytuesday1316 Do not let your own Trauma with Cultish Mormonism ruin Polygamy for everyone else. All religions besides Christianity permit polygamy. And isn't the argument that the "Govt. has no say in the bedroom of consenting adults"? Ifyou don't wanna do it, then don't. let others live their life. pushing things underground is the cause of all the abuse.

As believer's we are responsible for living a righteous example. We also need to study the word diligently to know what sin is. The Bible doesn't prohibit polygamy and it was practiced by the patriarchs. Though we see the many problems of polygamy through those same patriarchs though they are called righteous. It is wisdom that leads the majority of us to practice monogamy but not Biblical law. The Biblical law tells us what sin is. Of course if you are aware of a Biblical commandment I missed please feel free to enlighten me. I am just a believer not a theologian

😂😂😂😂😂😂

The Bible doesn't prohibit polygamy. In fact it gives instructions on how to select rival wives. You are not in the position to declare something sin when the Bible does not say so. Fornication is sin and adultery by sleeping with a married woman is sin. Polygamy is not sin.

@@MrEliasdl well then you should be happy with your wife having other husbands

@@dianawilliams6700 nowhere in the Bible is that allowed. It's adultery to sleep with a man's wife.

IGNORANCE

Separation of church and state

As a Torah observant Christian I have not found where polygamy is prohibited in the Bible. We are provided the example of G_d's perfect design of marriage being 1 man & woman as demonstrated by Adam and Eve. We also see the problems of polygamy as shown in the patriarchs polygamist unions, (Abraham, David, Solomon etc). With that in mind we are still required by the Bible to obey man's law. If it has been de criminalized there is no legal reason Biblical or otherwise one can't practice it but wisdom and common sense probably stops the majority of us from doing it. Hope this helps clear up a few things.

​@@rustynails8756 🎯

Polygamy is not prohibited in the Bible. There are even instructions on rival wives.

I like polygamy. 👍👍 cuts down on cheating outside the marriage and you don't feel obligated to sleep with the same partner nightly.
