Frankly I've never understood the legal argument against polygamy. It looks like a system that is often abused, yes, from what little I know, and clearly an expression of a patriarchal society. And it would give the IRS some extra work to figure out. But fundamentally I don't see why it necessarily needs to be illegal. So that seems a natural element to include on the slippery slope. Maybe there's some good argument about it, I've never really read much on the issue. It's funny that the argument about marriage needing to be based on Christian values doesn't get applied to Mormons.
