The #ClosetCommies in the LDS Church administration will also have to either support babies or support their murder. It will be interesting to see what happens. Neil L. Anderson spoke out against it two conferences ago, but went more leftist in his last conference talk. It will be interesting to see what happens, though I am guessing weakness and avoidance will continue. "With the expected Supreme Court ruling sending abortion policy back to the states and their elected representatives, politicians will be forced to take a stand. Morally ambiguous posturing won’t satisfy pro-abortion voters, or the faithful. Change won’t come too quickly, or everywhere at once. It’s unlikely, for example, that we’ll see action from the archbishop of Washington, D.C. — a man selected for the capital in part because of his go-along-get-along permissiveness toward our secular leaders. Already since her archbishop’s ruling, Pelosi has received communion in D.C. Cardinal Wilton Gregory’s diocese, choosing a Georgetown church that’s long been a favorite of pro-abortion politicians. Voting for a law expressly forbidden by the pope and his past two successors, however, is a scandal, and less politically charged clergy around the country will feel the pressure to react — especially as Democrats line up to publicly vote for nationally legal abortion. The Catechism clearly lays out the church’s position. The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, hand in hand with the Vatican, laid out how it should properly be publicly handled. The archbishop of San Francisco laid out the tact, grace, prayer, and patience needed — as well as the supporting documents necessary to communicate the decision to the errant, the clergy, and the faithful. Next up are his colleagues. For decades, the Supreme Court’s decision to hijack the abortion question blunted the moral impetus for secular and religious leaders alike. It allowed for a dishonest debate, and for the left to claim our elected representatives alone have jurisdiction over matters of life and death, while rarely exercising this jurisdiction. For decades, from both the church pulpit and the bully pulpit, it allowed for cowardice. Soon that may be ending. It might not make for a less contentious time in American life, but it will sure make for a more honest one." https://thefederalist.com/2022/05/25/a-new-day-why-neither-politicians-nor-clergy-can-hide-from-abortion-any-longer/
