You guys do realize that they keep a fertility chart for every married woman in the FLDS, right? Because Warren Jeffs decreed that ONLY SEX FOR PROCREATION IS ALLOWED each husband has a chart for his wives and can only have sex with them during their "fertile time". Once they are pregnant, no more sex, once they are not ovulating, no more sex....but during their fertile time, they MUST have sex....because for them, it's all about REQUIRED procreation.
These young girls are used like brood mares...they are TRYING TO GET THEM PREGNANT as soon as possible, and after that, as many TIMES as possible. And they will KEEP doing it - because it's required as a tenet of their FAITH. Once the woman cannot have children any more (for whatever reason) all sex stops. You do not have sex for FUN in the FLDS, but for making babies - no babies - no sex. This is one of the reasons each man needs minimum 3 wives, otherwise you'd run out of fertile women very quickly. Soooo, if you keep marrying younger and younger new girls, you can keep having sex, and producing offspring right up until your death...you can't do that if all your wives are as old as YOU.
Pretty darn convenient for the men, huh? He just fathers the kids but cannot possibly PARENT them, support them or even remember all of them. He just contributes some sperm and then shows up and has family night - where he "trains" the next generation of child brides and goes on about his life - OUTSIDE THE HOME. The wives bear the kids, raise the kids, provide for the kids, care for the kids and Dad just reigns over the whole bunch from afar - with an iron fist. The women take all the blame if the kids get into trouble too - the woman was obviously not "sweet" enough during pregnancy or in training the children so they turned out all wrong. If the child is perfect, the DAD is credited...if not, it's the MOTHER that ruined the child.
So it does NOT surprise me that EVERY little child-bride is pregnant or has been pregnant - the INTENT is to get every female who has reached puberty with child immediately and keep them with child from then on.
Just get out the stud book and see which mare or filly is next in line in the breeding barn.....wonder if the men sit around at night and compare "percentages"? I mean does a "98% foal rate" get him special Temple privileges?
It's just :sick::sick::sick:
