Yes, most Mormons are pro-life, even if there are not any Mormon politicians currently taking a strong position on the issue. Although I didn’t find a direct survey of Mormons on this, SurveyUSA did conduct a poll (http://www.surveyusa.com/50state2005/50StateAbortion0805SortedbyProLife.htm) of all the states, and heavily Mormon Utah was highest on the list, with 61% Pro-Life, 33% Pro-Choice. Unsurprisingly, Vermont was last on the list, with 25% Pro-life, 70% Pro-Choice.

__________________________________________

You dont know for certain about most Mormons”

Most Mormons voted for Mormon Bishop Williard Mitt Romney, a well known lifetime PRO-ABORTION activist in the 2008 primary...

of the Utah Mormons who voted in the GOP primary, 90% and more voted for the abortion pushing Romney...

and I didnt mention politicians...

Randall Terry is not a politician...

The Catholic lady who started Birthright all over the US and Canada to provide homes to unmarried pregnant girls in the 1970s and 1980s so they would not feel “forced” to have an abortion was not a politician

as far as I know there have not been any mormons actively against abortion...

Mormons are not wallflowers when it comes to social issues...

for whatever reason, they spent $Millions and were verbally outspoken on Prop 8 in 2008...

However when it comes to abortion the mormons are deathly quiet...

But Mormon Bishop Williard Mitt Romney did say in January 2008 that many mormons in leadership were Democrats and FOR abortion...

So after his much repeated declaration, what are we left with ???

As for mormon politicians...both the highest achiever in the US Senate, Harry Reid, awarded Mormon of the Year in Utah,

and the governor of a state, Bishop Williard Mitt Romney

have both been lifetime activists FOR abortion...

and have never acted or voted AGAINST abortion...

Both Harry Reid and Romney have run for office on a platform FOR abortion and supported others who were PRO-abortion in their campaigns...

I dont know about Reid but Romney has written personal checks to Planned Parenthood...

Mormons are PRO-Life ???

Tell me, as a pro-lifer would you vote for some who was not and had never been pro-life just because he was the same religion as you ???

Thanks. I thought I had read that if Roe v Wade was taken down, the three places that might vote to outlaw abortion would be Louisiana, Guam and Utah. Other than Guam, it wouldn’t matter, as a fairly short drive would get a woman to an abortion clinic, and they would spring up all around the borders of L and U if the vote in those states went against abortion.
