Inbreeding among polygamists along the Arizona-Utah border is producing a caste of severely retarded and deformed children

I know the article is a bit old, but I think it is interesting. This is one reason that either they need to allow polygamy or complete destroy it, IMO.

That's Warren Jeffs for you, and other leaders just like that, and I'm appaled that the state has been 'secretly' helping them. Yes, it's good that the state helps, but more needs to be done about the prosecution of polygamy.
