Mark: First, understand that I don’t agree with polygamy or underage marriage. That’s not the issue at hand here. The issue is over 400 children taken away from their parents without EVIDENCE of harm.

You can’t support ripping kids from their mother’s arms just because you don’t like the way the people live, their religion or their beliefs, if there is no reason to believe – and in this case there is no proof – that the children are in any danger.

There are many people out there who believe that Catholicism or Judaism or Buddhism are abominations. There are people who think it is an abomination that children are raised atheist, or raised by two females or just ONE female or male. We can’t just go in and take these children from their parents because a certain sector of the population believes they are being raised wrong. There has to be proof and evidence that something unlawful is going on, or that the children’s lives or future are in danger.

You really have to see the forest for the trees here.
