Mormonism and abortion.

11_weeks-04.jpg According to the Mormon published Gospel Principles (1997 edition) on page 251:

There is seldom any excuse for abortion. The only exceptions are when—

1. Pregnancy has resulted from incest or rape;

2. The life or health of the woman is in jeopardy in the opinion of a competent medical authority; or

3. The fetus is known, by a competent medical authority, to have severe defects that will not allow the baby to survive beyond birth.

It’s either a human and abortion is murder, or it’s not. Make a decision and stick with it.

This is just another example of Mormonism’s complete inability to remain firm on stances that become unpopular in society. This is yet another example that it’s not holding fast to what’s right that’s most important in Mormonism, but it’s widespread public acceptance that’s most important.

Even Mormonism’s most public figure right now can’t make up his mind on the abortion issue. Watch videos of Mitt Romney’s waffling on the issue by clicking here.

 

 

One thought on “Mormonism and abortion.

  1. I agree that those should be the only exceptions.

    People need to understand that there are significant consequences to sex that they have deal with, and not a get a quick fix, if you’ll forgive my wording.

    It’s not right for a potentially healthy child to be gotten rid of because the mother did not want the responsibility of caring for said child.

    My suggestion is stronger precautions during and after sex.
