A new study says when it comes to health, leadership and the economy, Utah women are some of the worst in the country. According to the Center For American Progress’ “State of Women In America,” Utah women rank 49th. The only state worse on the report was Louisiana. Utah women are dead last in leadership. Their poverty level is 43rd and they rank 34th in health. California, Colorado, Washington, New York, Connecticut and Maryland are all ranked as the best states for women to get ahead.

Well, the "elephant in the living room" response is that this is directly linked to the Mormon church culture.

Elephants aside, explain Louisiana. Is LDS big in the Pelican State?

As to the Mormons, they do have their act together in terms of family values, honesty and so forth.

Not what the OP wants to hear, LOL!

No...LDS is NOT big in Louisiana.
