I thought Mormans were Pro Life?
Reid is pro Abortion...
I thought Mormans were pro 2nd amendment?
Reid is for gun grabbing...
Reid is for raising taxes...
Reid is for killing the constitution...
and grabbing Ranchers property...
do Utah Mormons and Arizona Mormons and Nevada Mormons support Reid?
On specific voting issues, Reid has a partial pro-life voting record per National Right to Life.
(Of course, think of all the pro-abortion things he's done behind the scenes...including blocking pro-life legislation)
The Mormons I know abhor Reid.
Long ago I learned to put up with the bigotry of those who believe that the Commandments are now “suggestions.” That’s an even stranger cult.
(See article about Democrat editor of Las Vegas Review Journal ... re his entry into this controversy...he's Mormon...)

The Las Vegas Review-Journal ran an article several years ago one Spring day (May 30) with this mention:
...Mormon places of worship, where those who support Reid often keep their opinions to themselves...When people try to attack him, there isn't anybody who is willing to speak up," says Richard Bunker, a prominent Mormon and strong Reid supporter who happens to be Republican. "The problem is, the people that are vocal are the ones who are opposed to him, the ones that are beating the tom-toms with the Tea Party and all of that garbage. Sometimes I have to straighten them out." Bunker, whose great-grandfather was among Mormons who founded Bunkerville in 1877…

**I thought Mormons were Pro Life?**
That is a common misperception, remember that Mormon Bishop and Stake President (the boss over Bishops) Mitt Romney, was pro-abortion at the very time that he was excommunicating other Mormons for religious offenses, he was also anti-gun.
Here is Mitt Romney in August of 2012 after winning the GOP presidential nomination.
CBSNews.com. The transcript is below.
PELLEY: Well, the platform as written at this convention for the Republicans does not allow for exceptions on abortion with regard to the health of the mother or rape or incest. Is that where you are?
ROMNEY: No. My position has been clear throughout this campaign. I’m in favor of abortion being legal in the case of rape and incest, and the health and life of the mother.
Re Abortion:
The official Mormon church position (see
http://www.religioustolerance.org/lds_abor.htm) is that it's "OK" for an abortion if...
(a) Incest needs to be covered up;
(b) The baby is disabled and needs to be destroyed accordingly
(c) Mom's "health" (whatever that means...because legally & even morally "health" is distinct from saying "life" of the mother...for example, in an ectopic pregnancy if no abortion is done, mom will die -- and so will baby...but that's really about the only "life" exception there is!
(d) The Mormon Church says If the abortionist says it's "OK" (they use the euphemism of doctor when about 90% of all abortions are done in free-standing abortion clinics man by full-time abortionists...some of whom are circuit-riders who travel from abortion clinic to clinic in the roughly same region -- NOT hospitals)
(e) If the Mormon god says it's "OK" in prayer...And I kid you NOT on this one!
E alone above could "justify" abortion to individual Mormons as long it overrides the person's conscience!
