What is Utah doing in the United States? The Constitution protects us from religious states, no? Not in Utah, apparently.
Its laws
in one area seem to be outside those of human decency, and certainly unconstitutional. And it has to
do with the Mormon Church, which really controls the electorate, which
controls the legislature, the courts, the everything. This is Utah
today. Separation of church and state is pro forma, but does not really
exist. It is a state like no other where separation of church and state
exists on paper only, because the Church of the Latter-Day Saints of Jesus Christ really runs just about everything, and should not be tax exempt.
In yet another case, a single
father from another state (Florida) is fighting to gain custody of his
nearly year-old daughter whose former girl friend left her newborn with
strangers in that unholy state, reports the Salt Lake
Tribune, in the first of a four-part series by Brooke Adams.
Of
course, in Utah, that was perfectly legal, even though the father of
the child was doing everything possible to protect his paternal rights.
In Utah, that matters not.
