Why? The Bible stresses the sanctity human life in all its stages. What right have we to do differently? Conciousness of one’s enviroinment and intelligent response to stimuli are not biblical conditions indicating quality of life, are they?

Why do you refer almost exclusively to preborn children as “fetuses”? The Bible calls them “fruit” and “child”. In fact, I’ve never seen a passage where a term distinguishes between born and preborn children, have you?

  1. Aborting a baby (for convenience) is undoubtedly a grave sin; but there are certain mitigating circumstances where it would be permissible. The LDS Church has identified the following areas where it may legitimately be performed (subject to prayer and divine confirmation):
a) To protect the health and safety of the Mother (as determined by competent medical authority).

b) In cases of rape or incest.

c) When it is known through medical science that the baby would not survive beyond birth.

I believe that these decisions are correct and reached by inspiration, and meet the approval of the Lord in all cases as it is correctly applied

Do the LDS teach that abortion may be allowed in “exceptional cases” for all 9 months?

I prayed to know if human life is sacred and deserving of protection from the moment of conception and the Holy Spirit confirmed to me that it is. I experienced a burning in my breast with this confirmation so I know that it is true. Many of my friends who pray have come to know that this is true as well (though I’m not sure if they’ve also experienced a burning in the breast). This revealed truth certainly doesn’t contradict the Bible. Is it not inspired?

No Mormons teach G-D would have to be on a sexual predators list for having incest with his under-aged daughter
