LDS Church abortion message to voters called coercive

Original: Voices: The LDS Church’s abortion message to voters is not peacemaking. It is coercive control at every level.

A commentary in The Salt Lake Tribune argues that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' abortion guidance to voters amounts to coercive control rather than peacemaking, criticizing the church's influence over members' political choices. The piece challenges the institution's framing of its election-season messaging on abortion.

Why now: Abortion remains a divisive issue in US politics, and criticism of the LDS Church's political influence draws attention in Utah.
