Legalizing polygamy in Canada.....

[Papewaio]

Consenting adults. Not an issue.

Arguing that polygamy = gender inequality or child abuse. Issue.

Enforce the laws that exist against sex trafficking, child abuse, marital abuse, grooming etc.
Don't try and make a law to attack issues that are second order if they are at all. Make a law for a primary reason.

The state is involved in who you *insert rhyming word here*. Because of the outcomes ie she gets knocked up, or either/several or you get an STD. The state is expected to step in if there is any short comings in your ability to look after yourself (welfare, health, child support). Its also there to protect those involved to make sure they are consenting adults.

Consenting adults have to be of sound mind and reasoning ability. Dogs are not of that ability, and no Lassie barking that Jim is lost in a well does not count.

Mind you all this does make three men and a baby more plausible.

Daddywaio!

Consenting adults have to be of sound mind and reasoning ability.

Under the assumption that a sound mind and reasoning ability means you can count to 7 without using your fingers, then I agree.

If we limited marriage and baby making to people who are actually of sound mind and reasoning ability, the world's population would plummet like a cow off a cliff.

Not that that's a bad thing...
