Serious question since Mitt is against the new Alabama abortion legislation.

Does the Mormon Church have an ex-communication process?

I intensely dislike Mitt Romney.

That is all.

Yes.  Won’t happen, but they do have a process.  I doubt differences over legislation would suffice.

Not merely a difference over legislation. This is a serious moral issue. Supporting the killing of babies is evil.

Dude...different church, I know, but you do realize Nancy Pelosi is Catholic, and not excommunicated despite huge, public differences over this same issue?  Agree or disagree, excommunication is rare.

Only time I’ve read about it for the LDS Church was for someone who publicly called out the church about their views on women as priests/church authority, and someone who did the same on their views on homosexuals.  Took years in both cases despite calling out their church directly and publicly.  So...unless you catch Mitt chugging coffee-tobacco-alcohol smoothies and cursing Joseph Smith, ain’t gonna happen.

If they wouldn't kick out Harry Reid, Romney is safe.

Not that I like Romney, cause fuck him, but does the new Alabama law include provisions for rape or incest and mother's health?

Cause if not I could see why he opposed it.

I honestly don't know

More than half this site would support a federal abortion ban.

They’d then swear up and down, with a straight face, that the definitive trait of Conservatives is wanting to restore Constitutional limits and leave people alone, and that only Liberals want to use legal compulsion to force certain behaviors.

No, he doesn’t, and apparently neither do you.  Mitt represents LDS interests about as much as McCain or Harry Reid represented conservatives.  Both compromised their religious values to advance themselves politically.  I find them both equally repugnant.  The fact that Mitt was able to become senator doesn’t reflect LDS values, it merely shows that he was able to con so many by claiming adherence to their faith.

LDS people as a whole tend to be very trusting and Mitt took advantage of that.  No different that what MLM and ponzi schemers do, and Utah is rife with those according to the FBI.

Unfortunately, this thread will fill up with irrational anti-Mormon retards too fast for you to get any sort of useful discussion going. Then the kangaroo will show up and start beating everyone with massive walls of text.

But in short, plenty of people earn excommunication from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Romney won't be one of them unless he starts directly attacking the church's doctrinal positions or commits some sin worthy of excommunication.

Maybe for those who think “Conservative” means burning tires on Earth Day and hating minorities, as opposed to limited government and free enterprise capitalism.

Because, never seen Mormons support anything remotely “progressive” in the socialist Left sense.

Having actually read his statement, he said that he is against abortion except in cases of rape, incest, or where the life of the mother is at risk.  That is basically the position of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

While I disadain Romney, his statement on this is not against the policy of his church.

The Alabama law still allows for abortion in cases where the mother’s life is at risk.  It just eliminated exceptions for rape and incest.  Before everyone jumps in the tar and feather Mormons mobbing, where is GD on that one?  How many of you agree with Alabama’s law eliminating abortion in cases of rape or incest?

All anyone has to do to jump through that giant loophole is find a doc that will sign off on the fact that "your life is in danger".
"She said she was going to kill herself if she had kid number 9".
It's like finding a doc that will prescribe pain pills or social security disability claims.
Why do we kill children because their father is an asshole? (Rape).
Incest. Ditto.

To answer your question OP, Romney said nothing against the position of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on abortion.

Romney said he is against abortion except in cases of rape, incest, or where the mother’s life is at risk.  He won’t be getting excommunicated any time soon.

I also intensely dislike Mitt Romney.

My position on abortion is that it is abhorretly evil but especially when it is sanctioned by .Gov.
Making it extraordinarily difficult and exceeding rare is a good start in stuffing it back into the box from hell it came from.

My original post was to point out that Romney does not necessarily represent LDS values.

After I read what Romney said, I posted that it is not out of line with the position of the LDS Church.
Mitt may be a flip flopper and RINO, but his statement on the Alabama law is consistent with the position of his church.

I am not defending Romney so much as I am the position of the LDS Church on abortion.  When he ran for Governor of Massachusetts, he took a position on abortion that would get him elected.  He had to change that position to get elected in Utah.

That said, the fact he flip-flopped does not indicate that all Mormons are that way.  It was just Mitt being a slimy politician.  In this instance, his statement is in line with the LDS Church.  Whether he truly believes that or not is questionable.  The position of the LDS Church is not in question though.  They have solidly been anti abortion in all cases except rape, incest, and where the life of the mother is at risk.

You and I both agree on that.  I can appreciate your concern that any legal exception would get abused.  Such is the case with nearly any law we have regulating behaviors.
