A Salt Lake Tribune op-ed argues the LDS Church's recent messaging to voters on abortion ballot measures constitutes "coercive control at every level" rather than the peacemaking the institution claims. Author Brad Price writes that while he already supported Idaho's Proposition 1 to protect women and human dignity, he now has "another reason" after seeing what he calls "an attempt at religious supremacy."

The commentary responds to First Presidency letters read over pulpits in Idaho and Nevada urging members to oppose abortion-rights measures. Price frames the Church's involvement as overreach into individual conscience.
