Christian Exposes LDS Hypocrisy on Abortion

House Bill 467 just became public this afternoon. FOX 13 News reporter

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

My name is Chris Martinson. I'm the head of Voice for the Voiceless. And I'm neutral on the bill, but only because I don't see it doing anything.

That's kind of what we've seen in the past anyway. But last year, the bill misleadingly said that the abortion clinics were closed and abortion has ended.

They said that from the stage at the convention. But we know that this was never true. The history of abortion laws has always been to allow abortion into law.

The fact that abortion—in fact, abortion is legal in Utah up until birth for the mother, and that's written in every law.

In the latest report from the Utah Vital Statistics, there were 2 ,810 abortions performed under 15 weeks, 168 over 15 weeks, 40 of them being after 21 weeks.

So these lawmakers wrote past the laws that support this.

The sponsors last year of HB 467 told me that there was little or no support from legislature to end abortion in Utah.

And in fact, the exceptions were taken—if they were taken away, then the LDS organization would come out against the law.

So to wrap it up, writing these bills gives bodily autonomy to one person but not another.

And we need the bills that protect humans from other humans when those humans want to hurt them.

So anything less than an equal protection bill is unequal weights and measures.
