LDS doctrine permits the abortion of deformed children.
Your statement:
The Church allows for possible exceptions for its members when: . . . a competent physician determines that the fetus has severe defects that will not allow the baby to survive beyond birth
So, in fact, I told the truth.
What church do you go to?
I'm Catholic. We do not have such exceptions under Church law.
You told the truth, but NOT the whole truth.
If a child is going to be born deformed and will live past birth, abortion is NEVER an option.
I bet more young boys are raped by Catholic priests than babies are aborted by Mormons.
That may be but anyone with half a brain knows that means nothing.
Catholics abort like anybody else....sadly.
Mormons do not.
Don't believe me, compare abortion stats of Utah versus large Catholic states.
Most Catholics I know just praise the Pope and little else on cultural morality matters even though they are taught well. As a faith they are less adherent to conservative social issues than Mormons and probably even Southern Baptists or Texas-Tennesse Church of Christ, or Anglican Rites types, or Missouri Synod or any Charismatic.
I wish Catholics truly did follow their creed like Mormons do. Given your numbers, there would be no abortion. Your Popes usually mean well and steer a good course on infanticide but then how come so many Catholics vote Democrat? Almost half in 2004 but even more than that in prior elections.
Mormons and the faiths I mentioned above never even get close to voting Democrat....at least not since Jimmah.
