In his sect of the religion, it is like living in Iran for these women. I am not saying that all polygamists are abusing their kids, not by a long shot. I have seen examples of polygamous families who are not members of a cult who abuse their wives and children. They have every right to live their lives according to their beliefs, and I support them. However, the FLDS is another story. That is a cult if there ever was one, and the women there don't even have access to freedom of choice in reading materials, newspapers, tv, etc. I don't know how you can think otherwise, when there has been evidence showing what really is taking place in the FLDS.
I can say that because in THIS case, not a single one of the charges you have lobbed have been proven. No welfare fraud, no actual abuse, no widespread underage pregnancies. Especially considering Texas already has one of the highest incidences of teenage pregnany in the country as it is.

I really couldn't careless "what you have seen" because it really doesn't matter in THIS case.

How do women not have access to those things but they have cell phones and computers available? So far as it relates to THIS situtation, you have yet to present anything factual that has been verified to matter to THIS case. But keep on posting, it just let's people put some of your posts in other threads into perspective.
