It seems to me that you're inferring an assumption that is not 
necessarily present.  I don't believe all Mormon polygynous 
relationships are abusive.  But I do think that I have yet to see 
evidence that the *institution* of fundamentalist mormonism is clearly  
against the abusive ones, therefore I will not support that institution 
even though I will support individual healthy relationships within that 
institution.
