...Walther's suggestion that mainstream Mormons might serve as neutral monitors was turned down flat by the official church. Church spokesman Scott Trotter told the Salt Lake Tribune that the beliefs of the FLDS long ago diverged from orthodox Mormonism and, "in fact, many in these isolated communities view us with some hostility as part of the outside world they have rejected." For the nursing mothers, the judge offered a lesson in contemporary feminism: "Every day in this country there are thousands of mothers who, after six weeks' maternity leave, must go back to work--and they deal with this...

This is the only way to maintain consistency between the morality and legality of abortion. Abraham Lincoln made this same argument when he responded to Stephen Douglas in their famous debates. Douglas supported federal neutrality on the slavery issue, while claiming to be personally ambivalent on whether slavery was right or wrong, which Lincoln called an untenable moral position.
