This is a true statement. I know LDS were prominent in helping to pass Prop 22 in California. So it is good that LDS have been willing, from their leadership on down, to be on the forefront of this issue. It is indeed commendable.
I only wish the same was true on other socio-political issues. Like abortion, for example. By and large, many LDS folks are pro-life. But we don't see this translated into the public arena. Of course, LDS, as a body of faith, is not alone here. The same could be said of many denominations in the historical Christian faith.
From a doctrinal standpoint, abortion is a very grave sin. And there have been many talks/sermons given on the sanctity of life, abortion is heinous, etc. As far as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints performing rescues, or connecting with pro-life groups in an official way, IMO I don't see it happening.
