Letter questions LDS Church's selectivity on moral issues
Original: 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?
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints publicly opposed an Idaho abortion ballot measure, citing its practice of weighing in on issues with 'significant moral consequences.' A letter in the Salt Lake Tribune challenges that reasoning, asking why the church remains silent on many other issues that could equally be described as morally weighty. The critique fuels ongoing debate about the church's political influence in Idaho and Utah.
Why now: The LDS Church's opposition to Idaho's abortion measure has prompted fresh scrutiny of which moral issues it chooses to address politically.
