Polygamy and politics mix in 3rd District debate - Salt Lake Tribune

U. S. Rep. Chris Cannon (R-Utah) defends polygamy: "Cannon said he is offended by polygamous sects that force members to remain part of the group, but there are 'lots of women who choose to be in polygamous relationships and who are very articulate about the benefits they get. I don't think it's the place of society to prosecute people who choose to cohabitate responsibly....' Cannon said that, if the Supreme Court's ruling in Lawrence v. Texas striking down Texas' anti-sodomy statute is the 'law of the land,' polygamy also should be allowed." (Via Politics1.)
