A member writing at By Common Consent criticized the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' $1 million donation to the Too Extreme for Idaho Political Action Committee, which opposes Proposition 1. The post, titled "It is legal, but it ain't right," questions the donation's appropriateness.

The author argues that while the Church's political spending is legal, it raises moral questions about institutional involvement in state ballot measures. The donation went to a PAC fighting Idaho's abortion rights initiative on the November ballot.

The post reflects ongoing debate among members about the Church's political activity, particularly on abortion and LGBTQ issues. Church leaders have historically said members should vote their conscience on political questions while the institution takes positions on moral issues.
