Conference Report, October 1990, p. 108; “Except where the wicked crime of incest or rape was involved, or where competent medical authorities certify that the life of the mother is in jeopardy, or that a severely defective fetus cannot survive birth, abortion is clearly a ‘thou shalt not.’ Even in these very exceptional cases, much sober prayer is required to make the right choice.” – Apostle Boyd K. Packer
Exodus 20:13; “Thou shalt not kill.”
Psalm 139:13-14; “For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb. 14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.”
We’ve written about this many times, but we feel it’s always worthy of mention to remind non-Mormons of LDS beliefs.
Their views on abortion are no different than mainstream America. No abortions unless it’s due to rape, incest or the health of the mother…
What about the health of the unborn?
What about being a covenant keeping people?
Can you show us from the Bible where God says this is okay?
With the marriage laws changing so frequently in America we want to take the time to remind the Christian community that when working on social issues it’s important to remember who you’re buddying up with.
