If this is the criterion, then it has to be that criminalization of polygamy not be an optimal policy. If we allow everyone to act in their own best interests when making marriage choices, and assume that parents act in the best interest of their children, then surely those who chose to live in a polygamous household are better off than they would be in a monogamous household. They have to be because that is the arrangement they have chosen." ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/12/16/we-may-not-like-polygamy-but-decriminalization-makes-sense/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/12/13/will-british-columbia-legalize-polygamy/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/12/13/will-british-columbia-legalize-polygamy/#comments Mon, 13 Dec 2010 16:06:33 +0000 Admin http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=86079 Christian Web News: "'No government should experiment with a practice that has been clearly demonstrated as harmful to women, children, and societies around the world,' said ADF Senior Legal Counsel [Austin R.

Human Rights Council, urging it to protect religious expression, interpret “incitement” in a manner that protects religious minorities from “actual, imminent harm,” and reject the call for vague “hate speech” codes that penalize speech that merely makes the listener uncomfortable. The groups – which included Alliance Defense Fund, Christian Legal Fellowship, Jubilee Campaign, World Evangelical Alliance, and Advocates International . . . . Open Doors USA Advocacy Director Lindsay Vessey said it is "dangerous and alarming that a U.N. resolution provides legitimacy to national blasphemy laws that are used to persecute Christians and other minority faith groups . . .
