Abortion is murder and an abomination before God. Contraception is frowned
upon
but not strictly forbidden (since no revelation has been received on the

I don't think they post a sign saying 'MORMONS ONLY'...I believe they just
go to
BYU to recruit and sort of attempt to determin who is a return missionary
and who
is not (by looking at their records).
