This lets the community survive, but gives the leaders a legitimate motivation to end the practice (after all, God would not want those FLDS to lose their Temple, right?)
If Texas did it effectively, I'm guessing the FLDS would ditch polygamy within 20 years.
yes, isn't this in effect what the U.S. government did in the 1880's? And thank god, too.
