Why the LDS Church can back abortion politics tax-free
Original: Why the LDS Church can wade into abortion politics — and even donate money — without risking its tax-exempt status
The Salt Lake Tribune explains that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints can engage in abortion-related politics and even donate money without jeopardizing its tax-exempt status. US tax law allows churches and nonprofits to engage in limited lobbying and issue advocacy, and to fund political activity through affiliated entities, so long as they do not explicitly back candidates for office.
Why now: The church's involvement in abortion politics is drawing attention amid ongoing debates over church-state separation and nonprofit political activity.
