Legalization Of Polygamy Was Always The Logical Consequence Of Obergefell
2023-05-28
[Federist] If marriage is possible between any two individuals, then why not three, four, or any number of consenting adults, regardless of their sex?

* Obergefell v. Hodgess, 576 U.S. 644 (2015) (/ˈoʊbərɡəfɛl/ OH-bər-gə-fel), is a landmark case of the Supreme Court of the United States which ruled that the fundamental right to marry is guaranteed to same-sex couples by both the Due Process Clause and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution.

#12  If you want islamic culture, this is how you get islamic culture. Change the rules of competition for mating and you completely upend societal rules.

#11  Polygamy means the alphas have harems and the rest of the sad sacks get nothing. It's been proven to be a lousy way to run a society, and civilized countries have rightly outlawed it.

Get some backbone, people.

#10  I have no problem with this. It’s only illegal now because of backlash against the Mormons.

#9  Just be clear here, they're going for concurrent polygamy cause they already have sequential polygamy running now. It is a solution for those females suffering from terminal hypogamy which means most men won't be damned by it, just the upper 10-15% of income earners.

#8  Polygamy? Why would I want more than one women telling me what to do and why I am wrong? Just Kidding of course. Most young people are not marrying anyway; dating, marriage, sex and even having children have been decoupled by technology and society norms.

#7  I really don't care how aberrant other people's personal arrangements are.

That's the attitude that got us into this mess in the first place.

It was leveraged again and again by people with a bad-faith agenda. "What does it affect you" they cried. And guess what, the HUMAN FAMILY disintegrating does indeed affect you.

#6  I never watched the show, but my impression of Sister Wives is that I bet I wouldn't like the guy and I feel sorry for the women without even knowing anything about them.

#5  The polygamy idea is not for me. I would care less, but there seems to be a trafficking, slavery and cult aspect to much of it. The theoretical argument for legalized prostitution is similar. The argument is free will. The reality is slavery of damaged people that debases everyone related to it. Everything is aimed at the kids and family. Already, it is unwise to send kids to public school. It the countries where the slide into socialism has progressed farther, public school is mandated and uncompliant parents lose their kids.

#4  I really don't care how aberrant other people's personal arrangements are. Until it involves kids or they try to make me care.

#3  One can also ask why is government involved in marriage anyway.

#2  ...by SCOTUS' interpretation of both the Due Process Clause and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution.

FIFY

#1  First to polygamy then to animals and/or kids and we will have completed the destruction of the family - Satan’s goal.
