Rachael Strong was raped: By her polygamist prophet stepfather forty-five years her senior who claims he was only living his religion. By a published doctrine that warns: submit or be destroyed by God. By a Utah movement to decriminalize polygamy. By the new "political correctness." Was it incest? Was it rape? Was it extortion? Some call it simply a religious choice Rachael made. In 2006, the State of Utah is enacting policies that appear to be decriminalizing polygamy, and non-profit victims advocate Tapestry Against Polygamy has been asked not to use politically incorrect words like "victim" or "escape" or "brainwashed" or "cult." When well-educated, fashionably-dressed, articulate pro-polygamy women living comfortably as independents appeal to the public, and court the Attorney General, explaining how civilized polygamy really is � after years of hearing about group-controlled polygamist women being downtrodden, poorly dressed, poorly educated, and ruled by their husbands � people pay attention. Freedom of Religion is now headed to the Supreme Court. Will they consider the difference between "free-will" plural marriage and the human rights violations of "religious-coercive" polygamy?
