- 1Letter questions LDS Church's selective stance on moral issues●Letter: In opposing Idaho’s abortion measure, the LDS Church says it weighs in on issues that have ‘significant moral consequences.’ Why, then, does it stay mum on so many others?
A letter published in The Salt Lake Tribune criticizes the LDS Church for opposing Idaho's abortion measure on the grounds that it involves 'significant moral consequences,' while remaining silent on other issues the writer considers equally grave.
