LDS Church gives $1 million to oppose Idaho abortion measure
Original: The LDS Church donates $1 million to fight an Idaho pro-abortion ballot initiative
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has donated $1 million to a campaign opposing a pro-abortion ballot initiative in Idaho. The contribution, reported by Utah Public Radio, marks a significant intervention in the state's abortion debate and stands out given the church's public stance of political neutrality. The measure would restore abortion access in one of the most restrictive US states.
Why now: The donation is notable because it contradicts the LDS Church's public claims of political neutrality and lands amid heated national debate over abortion ballot measures.
