It's like arguing with my 5 year old daughter. She doesn't understand the importance of due process, either.
But her understanding of the difference between a witch hunt and the uniform application of the law far exceeds your own.
start a thread about abortion clinics allie, you are trying to derail these threads about this CULT....I care about all girls, everywhere. Including the girls in the abortion clinics, who are blissfully ignored by you and your buddies, who believe in "freedom of choice" for every victimized girl the world over....except if they happen to be married.
Why don't you care about the girls in the abortion clinics?
That's the rumor. But you don't take people's children away based upon rumors.
At least, you don't do it unless they happen to be members of a Christian sect.
I just heard on the news just this minute (Dan Abrahms) that officials are reporting that OVER HALF of the female children taken from this cult's compound between the ages of 14 and 17 are pregnant or have been pregnant and delivered a child already.
geeez louise.....
Of 53 girls ages 14-17, 31 have children or are pregnant, Texas officials say

SAN ANTONIO - More than half the teen girls taken from a polygamist compound in west Texas have children or are pregnant, state officials said Monday.
A total of 53 girls between the ages of 14 and 17 are in state custody after a raid 3 1/2 weeks ago at the Yearning For Zion Ranch in Eldorado. Of those girls, 31 either have children or are pregnant, said Child Protective Services spokesman Darrell Azar. Two of those are pregnant now, he said; it was unclear whether either of those two already have children.
"It shows you a pretty distinct pattern, that it was pretty pervasive," he said.
State officials took custody of all 463 children at the ranch controlled by the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, saying a pattern of teen girls forced into underage "spiritual" marriages and sex with much older men created an unsafe environment for the sect's children.
Under Texas law, children under the age of 17 generally cannot consent to sex with an adult. A girl can get married with parental permission at 16, but none of these girls is believed to have a legal marriage under state law.

60%. Makes me want to puke, but AB has been justifying it all day.
Wrong. You do it if you are a responsible member of society and you believe there is a chance that the child is being abused. There's no middle ground. You either do or you don't. If you do, the parents lose their child TEMPORARILY.
If you don't and the child is being abused, the child is dead or damaged PERMANENTLY. You going to bring a child beaten to death back to life because you didn't want to infringe on the parents' rights to beat it to death?
It's got nothing at all to do with your skewed persecution complex regarding Christians. The State of Texas went after them for possible child abuse and practicing polygamy. Both are against the law here, and just for your info, it's pretty Christian friendly hereabouts. This ain't NYC or some liberal playground where fearmongering against Christians plays well with the crowd.
