Perna, as a Mormon, may I respectfully insert a correction on what we practice and believe. Mormons do not practice polygamy. We believe in honoring the law of the land. It is part of our history, and is also part of the history of all Judeo-Christians since polygamy was practiced in the Old Testament, most notably by the kings, David and Solomon. But Mormons today have monogomous marriages and would be excommunicated if they married a second spouse (I know one who did, and was).

However, there is a splinter group that still practices polygamy, and since they broke off from us they still resemble us in some ways. They do practice polygamy, and in ways that are very harmful. We are not able to do anything about their beliefs and practices above what the law or anyone else can do, since they do not follow our leaders and prophet. Since they are located around Utah (often on the borders so that they can run into another state if the police go after them), the officers enforcing the law when people from that group are arrested are often Mormons. So we are doing what we can about a problem that exists near us but pertains to another group, not us.
