I Have Many Feelings On This

219 women and children were taken from a polygamist compound in Texas.

I'm not saying this is a bad thing...but seeing that it's April and in Texas, it could have turned out much worse.

Nevertheless, I'm glad these women and children are out of there. This is the sect which was once led by Warren Jeffs, now a convicted felon.

I wasn't aware you had to do that.

Defense counsel for Warren Jeffs, leader of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormons who believe in polygamy) has now sunk so low as to challenge a woman, who was married to her own cousin at the age of 16 against her wishes, on her definition of rape.

Jeffs, president of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, is charged with two counts of rape as an accomplice.

Prosecutors say he used his influence to push the girl into a ceremonial marriage with a 19-year-old cousin in 2001 and force her to have sex.

Last week the woman testified that she sobbed through the wedding and had to be coaxed by Jeffs and her mother when asked to say "I do." She hid in a bathroom after the ceremony at a Nevada motel.

Defense attorney Tara Isaacson challenged her earlier testimony and her statements to police in 2006.

I'm all for providing a vigorous defense, but come on. Stick with some morals. Just because as a brainwashed sixteen year old girl she didn't fight it didn't mean it didn't happen.
