I have a real problem with the FLDS brand of polygamy. These type of communities are rife with abuse and coerced marriage. Small polygamist communities exist all over Utah but nothing is ever done about it. If an adult woman chooses to enter into a polygamist marriage...great, I don't have a problem with that. A 13 or 14 year old girl is not mature enough to make that decision, nor is she mature enough to be having a baby that young. I'm glad this happened and it's about damn time, IMO.
