It is quite (for lack of a better word) amusing that people think that the churches stand on abortion means it is pro choice. The choice is whether you will or will not have sex to get pregnant. In an article in the Oct. 2008 Ensign it states "When the controversies about abortion are debated, "individual right of choice" is invoked as though it were the one supreme virtue. Tat could only be true if but one person were involved. The rights of any one individual do not allow the rights of another individual to be abused. In or out of marriage abortion is not solely an individual matter. Terminating the life of a developing baby involves two individuals with separate bodies, brains and hearts. A woman's choice for her own body does not include the right to deprive her baby of life--and a lifetime of choices for that child." How simple is that? Incest and rape it says " this tragedy is compaunded because an inocent woman's freedom of choice was denied. In these circumstances, abortion is SOMETIMES considered advisable to preserve the physical and mental health of the mother. Abortions for these reasons are also RARE!!! No where in any doctrine of the church does it state anything about favoring pro choice !!!!

Pro LIFE all the way Jana! I understand there are some cases where abortion might be NECESSARY but those cases are few and far between. And in those cases, get on your knees and pray for guidance.
If you don't want to have a baby, then stop having sex. Not an ignorant comment although maybe some feel it is, beings we live in times of casual sex. Many are so permiscuous that they don't even care to have the name of the person they are swapping bodily fluids with. Yes Mormon people, THAT really happens.
I think we should stop condoning actions and make people accountable for their choices, good or bad.
completely agree mindy. great comment
