Twisted Justice

A polygamous sect has been rounded up. Shocked journalists write that there are 13 and 14 year olds who are married and pregnant.

I am in no way pro-polygamy... or pro teen marriage... However...

Meanwhile, our easy divorce laws, winking at adultery, and fornication with no consequences means that anybody can have sex with anybody any time they want. Schools teach children "If it feels good, do it!" including sodomy. Parents are prohibited from interfering in the "personal lives" of their children.

I know of one young lady who was raped at 13. She was placed under house arrest, while the 24 year old who had sex with her (statutory rape, regardless of circumstances) was released because he said, "She said she was 18!" Yeah, right. He's a wronged suitor, but she is a criminal.

So... let me be sure that I have this straight. If I want to rape a 13 year old, sodomize him/her, with or without consent, the law is on my side. But, if I actually marry that same 13 or 14 year old (presumably with their parent's permission, in this case) then I am a criminal, on the ATF hitlist.

A man can have an infinite number of sex partners, but if he pays them (I'm thinking of the recent expose on the New York Governor) that's a problem.

A young man can have an infinite number of sex partners, but if he actually marries some of them, he's busted. Unless, of course, he divorces them in between, a kind of "serial polygamy" that leaves the woman to try to fend for herself.

As a society, Americans need to decide whether people can be accountable for the sexual behavior or not. The schizophrenia represented by having Polygamy Laws be the only sex-related laws that are actually enforced is ridiculous.
