Shifting Views on Polygamy Rights

• This ABC News article highlights the legal struggles that accompany charges of bigamy.  The T.V. show 'Sister Wives' has sparked a public debate about whether making polygamy illegal is a violation of the First Amendment, or a civil service that will help protect women and children.
• The legal implications of plural marriages are also touched on in the Salt Lake Tribune's article, where the commonly voiced opinion is that polygamy should be legalized; not only in regards to religious freedom, but because some think that the LDS Church will continue to be unsupportive of the practice and will not be effected anyway
• The LDS Church's website page provides background information on Mormon families practicing polygamy in the early years of the Church, as well as how the practice became illegal
