"The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believes in the sanctity of human life...
The Church allows for possible exceptions for its members when:
The Church teaches its members that even these rare exceptions do not justify abortion automatically. Abortion is a most serious matter and should be considered only after the persons involved have consulted with their local church leaders and feel through personal prayer that their decision is correct."

Well, if you DO have a bias vs. the Trinity (3-in-1), then no wonder how that'd extend to failing the realize the 2-in-1 nature of this thread.
You don't know my history. And you don't know how I've paid a much bigger price for opposing abortion than I have for opposing Mormonism. For you to presume that you know me, and every motivation of mine under the sun is off-base.
And, hey, I've got news for you: I am opposed to Mormon children being aborted by Mormon parents. Even if those parents had instead given birth to that child, and that child grew up to be raised Mormon & proselytize others into becoming Mormon, I would defend that baby's life the same as any other.
I had one solo motivation for posting this particular thread...and had no previous thought (at ALL) of posting it til Morgana asked a direct question on another thread. I started to answer it in THAT thread...and then thought, "Hey, since I'm doing the post I might as well do the thread."
And guess what? On that given thread, the subject is how Mormons feel about BOTH abortion and polygamy. And 26% of Mormons don't oppose abortion. Guess what? It's people from among those 26% who have either aborted their offspring -- or, if of childbearing age -- are vulnerable to doing that.
Picking out one religion on the abortion issue is like picking out one bad apple out of a barrel of rotten apples.
Well, Morgana on that other thread didn't ask what the Presbyterian view on abortion is, or what the Baptist view on abortion is...she asked what Mormon view is. And if because you somehow can't control what questions are or aren't asked around FREEPERville, you're blaming me for that?
Pathetic.
Pathetic.
Which is the percent of Mormons who voted Republican versus the others who voted republican.
I did not blame you or any one else any one for any thing.
Then if you will go back and look at your first post back to me it plainly shows who started the blaming game.
“The appropriate answer is that I believe the purpose of posting this thread is not to fight abortion but to trash Mormonism.”
For you to say that you have really missed by posting history.
I don’t discriminate, I go after every church that is NOT 100% against abortion.
Personally I don’t care if the Mormons celebrate Smithmas, practice polygamy, or wear weird underwear. America is a free country, founded on freedom of religion, which means even them.
The line is crossed with me when it comes to Abortion. That is murder period.
Now yes one could argue so is polygamy. However legally they can’t “marry” more than one. What they do is marry the first then “spiritually” marry the rest. Only time a law is broken is when they “spiritually” marry a girl 17 and under then the feds have to go in and kick butt. Other than that if the weirdo chicks with big hair leave me alone, I will leave them alone.

I guess some one needs to explain to me how the feds can punish some one for breaking a spiritual law.
