30,000 Mormon Polygamists
USA Today, 12 February 2002
Misstatement:
"...it is estimated that approximately 30,000 Mormons live in polygamous households in Utah."
Fact:
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints discontinued the practice of polygamy more than a century ago. No members of the Church today can enter into polygamy without being excommunicated. Groups that practice polygamy have nothing to do whatsoever with the Church and should not be referred to as Mormons.
