Looking for someone to argue AGAINST polygamy!

Pro’s entire case rests on the assumption that societal values change like the fate of slavery that polygamy should be legalized in the United states. An analogy between slavery and polygamy is made which I pointed out that this is a weak analogy. The reason he has given is not enough to warrant his claim. No criterion has been changed. Whether strong or deep reasons these two are synonymous. Both of which, however, Pro failed to give sufficient evidence to support his claim. Even there few muslims in the United States, it is not a justifiable reason to allow polygamy. Remember that your claim is to allow polygamy in the United States that includes not only Muslims but also Christians. It is a fact that there is no compelling reason to adopt polygamy in the United States. If you have conceded that polygamy would not solve relationship problems, then why you want to allow polygamy in the first place? You stated, “. Almost any reasons other than love (family, security, money, sexual attraction) that people want to get married, can be applied to people wanting to get married in a polygamous way.” If this is one of your reasons why legalize polygamy, then it is not a good tradeoff. Think of what would happen to the society if you allow polygamy. Think of the men, women, children, and values of our society. They would no longer have security for love. Another you said, “…the only motivation that I need for legalizing polygamy is that it is ethical, and some people may want it as an option.” This is a form of begging the question. You are assuming that polygamy is ethical which you have not given any reason as why you think it’s ethical, you just assumed. Moreover, if it becomes an option, many people would not be secured with their relationship. There was a literature review and statistical analysis conducted by Prof. Rose McDermott, a professor of political science at Brown University about polygamy. Among McDermott’s conclusions: Based on the best data available to date in the world, including the majority of countries across the globe, I find that in polygynous societies, women sustain more physical and sexual abuse. They have more children, are more likely to die in childbirth, and live shorter lives than their counterparts in more monogamous societies. In polygynous societies, women are more subject to sex trafficking and female genital mutilation while receiving less equal treatment than men, and encountering more discrimination under the law. In addition, girls are less likely to be educated, restricting a key component allowing for upward mobility and economic independence. In societies with high rates of polygyny, up to half of the boys are ejected from their primary communities, with incalculable effects on them. Moreover, the average individual in a polygynous society has fewer liberties than the average individual in a state which prohibits polygyny. A polygynous state spends more on average on defense, leaving fewer resources available for building domestic infrastructure, including projects devoted to health and education. This is quite a diverse set of effects, confirming the wide-ranging consequences of polygyny in societies in which women live as enforced second class citizens, and the states of which they are a part. . . . More generally, while some individuals certainly claim to benefit from being in a polygynous union, there has been no statistical demonstration that polygyny benefits most men or women, boys or girls or society considered as a whole. Nor are any such effects manifest in the vast majority of the peer-reviewed literature examining a smaller number of cases than would be permitted by statistical analysis. Perhaps such a defence of polygyny, unlikely though it may be, could be made and supported with data meeting the standards which we advocate – verifiable, comprehensive, valid, and reliable. But for now it is fair to state that while polygyny’s negative effects are wide-ranging, statistically demonstrated, and independently verified using alternative analytical tools, its beneficial consequences are circumscribed and at odds with the welfare of most. The Judge in British Columbia was impressed by the study conducted above which made him to decide against polygamy. Here is the link of the case regarding polygamy being not a good idea: http://www.courts.gov.bc.ca... Again, you haven’t provided compelling reasons to legalize polygamy in the United States. All you did was to commit extended analogy fallacy, begging the question, weak analogy.
