It could very well be about both, in that mormon doctrine teaches that abortion is OK if one prays about it and gets the green light from her leader.
"The Church opposes abortion as one of the most revolting and sinful practices of this day. Members must not submit to, be a party to, or perform an abortion. The only exceptions are the rare cases where, in the opinion of competent medical counsel, the life or health of the woman is in jeopardy or the pregnancy resulted from incest or rape. Even then, the woman should consider an abortion only after counseling with her husband and bishop or branch president, and receiving divine confirmation through prayer."
In his address at Brigham Young University on 1999-FEB-09 Elder Dallin H. Oaks of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles reaffirmed that an abortion is permissible, after "counseling with the local presiding priesthood authority and after receiving divine confirmation" if any of four grounds existed:
 |
The life of the mother is seriously endangered. |
|
The good health of the mother is seriously endangered. |
|
The pregnancy was caused by rape. |
|
The pregnancy was caused by incest. |
He cited an additional ground that would allow abortion as a permissible choice:
|
"The fetus has severe defects that will not allow the baby to survive beyond birth." 2 |
