Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints Responsibility to vote and vote for morally upright values

October 3, 2018 by Dylan Raines

“Where democracy exists, it is our duty as members to vote for honorable men and women who are willing to serve … Every Latter-day Saint should sustain, honor, and obey the constitutional law of the land in which he lives.”
– Russell Ballard, President, Quorum of 12 Apostles, 2018

Assisted Suicide/Euthanasia

Handbook 2; Selected Church Policies and Guidelines   21.3.3
“Euthanasia is defined as deliberately putting to death a person who is suffering from an incurable condition or disease. A person who participates in euthanasia, including assisting someone to commit suicide, violates the commandments of God.”

Abortion – Church Handbook

“Human life is a sacred gift from God. Elective abortion for personal or social convenience is contrary to the will and the commandments of God. Church members who submit to, perform, encourage, pay for, or arrange for such abortions may lose their membership in the Church.

In today’s society, abortion has become a common practice, defended by deceptive arguments. Latter-day prophets have denounced abortion, referring to the Lord’s declaration, “Thou shalt not … kill, nor do anything like unto it” (D&C 59:6). Their counsel on the matter is clear: Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints must not submit to, perform, encourage, pay for, or arrange for an abortion. Church members who encourage an abortion in any way may be subject to Church discipline.”

The State of California currently:

  • Funds abortion on demand
  • Underwrites abortion and its marketing via taxpayer dollars
  • Pays for human experiments on human embryos and embryo farms (Prop 71)
  • Approves the promotion and implementation of assisted suicide on the medically and emotionally vulnerable. (AB 282, 2018)
