Well, I don't seem to recall any LDS condemnation of Mitt Romney's previous stand on abortion, either from members of the church hierarchy or from any prominent members. Also, Sen. Orrin Hatch has been very supportive of embryonic stem cell taxpayer-financed research.
The LDS church leaders have not commented on Romney’s abortion stance because they do not make any political statements. They don’t support specific candidates. It’s is the Mormon member’s responsibility to study the issues, voting records and such and decide for themselves.
I am no friend of Mitt Romney. I do not like his past governing record, and have no interest in having him as a president. I did not listen to his Faith speech, because frankly, actions speak louder than words. Matthew 7:20 says that “by their fruits ye shall know them.” Didn’t like his fruits, will not vote for him.
That said, I would like to explain that I believe, and all members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints believe, that all of us on this earth are brothers and sisters. This simple idea is premised in that we are all spirit sons and daughters of a Heavenly Father, or God. When you consider everyone around you as a brother or sister, and act accordingly, it makes the world a better place. So, even if you don’t agree with the idea, it has great merit. I happen to believe it. When the foundation of that aspect of our belief is understood, the fact that someone points out an unexpected relationship is a non-issue. I also happen to believe that Moses is your brother, and Judas.... and most amazing and humbling of all, Jesus. Jesus was the only physical son of the Father, though. That made it possible for Him to atone for our sins.
