Group doesn’t blatantly support practice but says it’d help 1990’s woman.The Utah Chapter of the National Organization of Women says polygamy can be a solution for the problems of working mothers.
“It seems like a pretty good idea for professional women, who can proceed with their careers and have someone at home they can trust to watch their children. It solves the day care problem” said Luci Malin, vice chairman of Utah NOW in a telephone interview Monday.
“This isn’t blatant support for polygamy...But maybe it can work for some people, and maybe it can make raising children easier” for those trying to juggle careers and motherhood” said Ellen George, state secretary for Utah NOW.
The Utah NOW leaders, non of whom is a Mormon, made their comments in response to questions about a report to the summer of issue of Women’s Quarterly magazine. It said that “Utah chapter of NOW embraces polygamy,” in which a man takes multiple wives, as a way of helping career women.
The Mormon Church excommunicates members who practices polygamy.
Current and past officials of the Utah’s NOW chapter, quotes in Women’s Quarterly, said they see no reason why the national organization would not support polygamy, provided those involved in such arrangements are consenting adults.”
