A Latter-day Saints for Life conference encouraged members to engage in anti-abortion advocacy while emphasizing compassionate messaging, according to Deseret News.

Speakers at the October gathering urged attendees to "stand for life with love," focusing on supporting pregnant women and families alongside policy advocacy. The conference comes amid heightened attention to abortion ballot measures in several states.

The LDS Church officially opposes abortion except in cases of rape, incest, danger to the mother's life, or severe fetal abnormalities. The Church recently donated $1 million to oppose Idaho's abortion rights initiative, Proposition 1.
