Accusers of Joseph try desperately to write off the inconvenient fact that he had no children with any supposed polygamist wife, even to the point of making truly ludicrous arguments. This episode will once and for all lay to rest the ridiculous claims that Joseph or his supposed wives practiced any form of birth control, or worse, any form of abortion.
Tracing the timeline of contraceptive technology in America as compared to the timeline of Joseph’s supposed polygamy is research that should have been done before these claims were ever made.
This episode, responding directly to the claims made by Lindsay Hansen Park, Radio Free Mormon, and Bill Reel, will clearly reveal that it would be far more plausible to claim that Joseph and his wives had access to electric lighting, telephones, and automobiles, than the claims they make to try to explain away his lack of children in polygamy.
