It seems that when no one was looking, some liberal judges were sneaky and changed the law about marriage rights. This Proposition will put the law back into place." She then makes a distinction between RIGHTEOUS people who vote for the Proposition, and the unrighteous who oppose it.<BR/><BR/>In my opinion, not all "righteous" LDS women agree that the Proposition is legal. Had this Proposition been in place in the early days of the Church, it would have kept righteous Latter-day Saints from living the principle of celestial marriage. I will not attempt to defend my position further, except to say that if our goal is to unite LDS women, perhaps it would be better to say something like: Mormon women should study the issues carefully and vote their conscience. Here are the things I have studied and why I believe the way I do. A statement like that is fundamentally different than saying ALL RIGHTEOUS people will take a particular political position.Bored in Vernalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14016611721544251941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2035557836022548249.post-25154172563478761792008-10-03T11:25:00.000-04:002008-10-03T11:25:00.000-04:00Out of curiosity, could you elaborate on "Jan's po...Out of curiosity, could you elaborate on "Jan's political views might not fit with her desire to unite women"?SilverRainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00580230961425635077noreply@blogger.com
