PoliticsBlogger critiques LDS abortion letter: missing women, consistency, courage
A post on the Mormon blog By Common Consent criticizes the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' recent letter to Idaho members opposing Proposition 1, arguing the statement conspicuously lacks three things: women signatories, intellectual consistency, and courage. The author contends the letter and its underlying positions fail to adequately represent or address women's perspectives on abortion.
The critique comes as the Church has directed Idaho leaders to read the anti-abortion letter twice in Sunday meetings, a rare level of political mobilization. The letter opposes Proposition 1, a ballot measure that would expand abortion access in Idaho.
