The Area Presidency overseeing Idaho congregations instructed ward, stake and branch leaders to read a letter opposing the Idaho Reproductive Freedom and Privacy Act to their congregations on two consecutive Sundays. The directive, which surfaced on social media before being confirmed, urges members to oppose the ballot measure.

The instruction to read the letter twice underscores the church's emphasis on the issue. Area Presidencies, composed of General Authority Seventies, govern church operations in geographic regions and can issue directives to local leaders on behalf of senior church leadership.
