I would prefer rape & incest victims allow for the adoption of their children, but this decision should rightfully made by the individual, with the assistance of One who is wiser than any of us.

Why the hell would you get Bronco "BSD" Mendenhall involved? Isn't he busy enough emasculating Ute fans by changing the words to Utah Man?

I thought the church handbook specifically states that abortion is not murder.

lol - not quite the 'One' I was referring to.

It's not like Utah Man isn't emasculating without changing any words...

I'm with you in that I don't feel really comfortable with the government making a moral judgment in an area of so much disagreement, but it's really sad how many abortions are taking place for no other reason than the pregnancy is somewhat inconvenient. The problem I have with the pro-choice side of this is that they seem very resistant to any attempts to making abortion the least bit difficult. That bothers me a lot. This is a major decision, and it needs to be treated as such. Education, waiting periods, etc should be mandatory.
Statistics show the vast majority of abortions are for convenience only......in the 90% range had abortions as a form of birth control. And then the difference between the 'health' (read: mental health whatever that may entail) and 'life' of the mother. The 'health' argument is code word for abortion on demand because it may upset you to give birth.

Depends. Can you be "good" LDS and take views in direct opposition to those the Church officially takes, or does that make you a hypocrite kicking against the pricks who trys to tell God that He is wrong?
