Patrick Curl: LDS, Network Marketer, and Entrepreneur: Abortion

Image via Wikipedia It states in the Book of Mormon that we are to have free agency, and that there is an opposition in all things. In fact it is God's plan that we should have the freedom to make our own decisions.

Further it was Satan's plan that we would NOT be able to make our own decisions and instead we would be compelled to do what is right. Or in other words that morality would be forced upon us.

If we had no choice in the matter we would all make it back to heavenly father but not as individuals with purpose but as drones with no free will or agency.

Heavenly Father wants us to make choices, without making choices we cannot grow or progress. Each of us has our own weaknesses. Many of the choices we make whether good or bad affect the lessons we learn in life.

The republican party is about taking control of all moral issues like same sex marriage(I don't belive in or condone it - but if someone else's faith per se does then it's their own choice) it doesn't affect me what someone else chooses, it doesn't hurt my life. It isn't right, that's for sure - but it's not right for us as Latter-day saints or American's to FORCE other's to do what is right.

The beauty of freedom is that people can do what they please as long as it doesn't hurt another person, I believe in that fully. I believe the government has already crossed many fine lines on this matter. As long as someone is not a danger to someone they should be allowed to do what they choose.

This is how God planned it, and the democratic party is much more open to this belief, which is why I associate with it.

Another issue many bring up about democrats is that of Abortion, I am a democrat and don't support nor condone abortion, there are many of us... I don't believe in banning it either though, I believe that the situation is a grave and delicate one, and that there should be a lengthy process of education before abortion. I think there should be a government program focusing on adoption over abortion but in the end that it is that person's choice, as are all choices. I know if abortion weren't legal that there would be many back-door abortions.

What about instead of abortions, transferring the baby to be aborted into the womb of those who can't conceive? Is that an option?

There are many discussions that we could have but I honestly believe that the democrat party is one that is more open an honest and less in favor of large corporations.

What say you? Should we be compelled to be moral by the government - or have the option to choose for ourselves?
