Harming the innocent party is not the way to go.

Oops.

I guess the feds are going to have to shut down the Mormons...

I thought they were going in the opposite (liberal) direction. Maybe the ‘jury’ is still out.

Do not understand how seme-sex marriage can actually produce children. If they mean adopted children, it would be of tactical benefit to make that clear. Conervatives should not embrace fictions that deny the reality of origins and conception.

Not sure this is harming the innocent. The LDS leadership may argue it does no harm for a person not to be baptized until they're 18 and can make their own decision in the matter.

Mormon baptism is not the same as Catholic/Christian baptism -- they are different in kind --- but I know that in the Catholic Church, infant baptism must be predicated on the well-founded expectation that the child will be raised Catholic. This is why you can't just go about grabbing kids and baptizing them.

If the parents think their same-sex "marriage" is fundamentally right, and therefore the Mormons are fundamentally wrong, why would they want their child to be baptized Mormon? If they did, it would seem like a set-up to me.

If they REALLY believe that, then they need to clear out the Boy Scout troop masters they just started letting in.

Here is a link to a good explanation of the LDS Church’s logic for this position:
