Christian Calls for Utah to Establish Justice for the Pre-Born

House Bill 467 and the Public Debate Over Abortion

House Bill 467 just became public this afternoon.

Fox 50 News reporter Chris Arnold spoke with anti-abortion and pro-choice advocates who let their voices be heard on this extremely emotional issue.

Opposition to Utah Abortion Law and LDS Doctrine

My name is Chris Bartonson. I'm voice of the voiceless and I'm against any bill that ends the life of babies in the womb for any reason. But thinking back to a conversation, a phone conversation I had with Representative Lisenby, she said to me, quote, women who have been victimized still have a choice under Utah law and under LDS church doctrine.

She said that because of that, quote, it would be almost impossible to pass a bill that deleted all the exceptions. She's shown that the Utah law and the LDS are aligned with abortion. Utah law and the LDS doctrine say that they'd rather abortions don't happen, but one person's agency is taken away, then they are allowed to take the agency away from the baby and murder the child.

Life at Conception and the Image of God

Life is, as Alabama's Supreme Court affirmed and the gospel always said, life is at conception. We are made in the image of God. All life is valuable, no matter what stage of development, and to take away that life is murder, regardless of one person's agency over someone else's agency.

Repentance, Christ, and Equal Protection for the Pre-Born

Today's bill only changes wording. It's of no consequence. The bill that is in the courts right now, if passed, will continue with the murdering of children in the womb. So today, I'm here to say, repent, turn to Christ, stop these wicked bills, and establish justice and give equal protection to every human being.

Thank you for your time. Thank you.
