PLEASE MAY WE EVOLVE PT.1

At a local level, the ultra-right Mormon off-shoot community called Bountiful, BC is receiving some national attention again. It's a little town where men have many wives, marrying girls when they are as young as 13 years old. Almost none of them finish high-school. Although polygamy is illegal in Canada, the leaders of Bountiful claim that they have the right to marry as many teenagers as they like and that the Constitution protects this, their "Religious Rights". It's abhorrent and disgusting that anyone would claim they have the right to abuse children via religion, and it doesn't stop there. If Canadians fail to prosecute the leaders of Bountiful, a new precedent will be set. The floodgates will open for religious groups to practice abuse, mutilation, and killing in the name of God and protected by law. Fuck Canada, stop being so fucking apathetic and polite and start protecting HUMAN RIGHTS not religious rights. Read a lot more here.
