The movie star, and extremely liberal idol of the movement, Jane Fonda recently came to Utah. She offered her praise and thanks to Governor Mike Leavitt for his veto of a bill which would have prevented the teaching of abortion and to Utah high school students, (see the Salt Lake Tribune April 5, pro-aborti- birth-contr- ol 2000) Tribune 05161999) .Since Utah is predominately Mormon, its .obvious that Governor Leavitt has decided to represent the majority and to heck with protecting the constitution by S. DEAN LEDBETTER STAFF WRITER domestic, and to heck with trying to protect Utah high school students form the teachings of abortion and birth control. Income Tax Filing Day arrived a few days later than usual this year and many needed the extra time to from all enemies foreign and I The Abstinence only bill, which passed both the Utah House and Senate, was designed to help youths avoid the pitfalls of sexually transmitted diseases and abortion associated with sexual activity among teens, by allowing abstinence only to be taught. Since the bill was primarily proposed and voted for by Republican legislators. It makes one wonder what motivated Governor Leavitt to oppose his own party. Also Governor Leavitt has declared his support for a ban of concealed weapons form churches and schools. This again is in opposition to the majority of Republican state legislators who believe the right to keep and bear arms is a constitutional right and that they are bound to protect the constitution frqm all enemies foreign and domestic, by their oaths of office. Now we know governor Leavitt is not a democrat, so one must ask where is his motivation to side with the birth controlling, Constitutional right banning, side coming from? Could it be his religious affiliation with the LDS (Mormon) church? Thd Mormon Church has also received praise fonn a leader in the birth-contr- n, move- ol ment. ffor its latest compromises. Karrie Galloway, executive direc- tor of the Planned Parenthood Association of Utah commented on the new birth control politics of the Mormon church saying; I only wish that the Catholic Church could do something like it. of Taxpayers Rush to Meet Deadline believe, all Religious and Political leaders, could leam a lesson from the example of Pope John Paul of the Catholic Church. Recently he apologized for t long list of misdeeds by Catholics over the last 2000 years. He didnt try to justify his own, he admitted they were wrong and that they did alot of serious harm. To realize the magnitude of this apology one needs to remember that this is the leader of a billion plus Catholics. Also bear in mind that Catholics have long held the belief that the Popes were all infallible, (that god would never let them fall or lead the church astray) after all they believe it is Gods church. The Popes apologies a stunning example of a leader trying to make things right no matter what embarrassment it may cause, and no matter how many others choose to disagree. The lawyer mentality of arguing for your side (pride) regardless of the facts and logic to the contrary, is common today. People are being programmed by the liberal media to ignore or demonize, and arguments that stand for the old moral- ity or the old constitutional rights. Driven by fear and emotion, many are easily blinded as to the direction (cliff) they are being driven towards.

M. Russell Ballard said; actually guns in a lot of places, dont belong Scott Engen, a spokesman for the gun owners of Utah, acknowledged that LDS leaders statements could shift the politnever-endin- ical fulcrum because the faith swings a big stick. He called the remarks disappointing. (Salt Lake slaves arent allowed to have weapons, and free people are only free as long as they can defend their freedoms. Banning concealed weapon permit holders from carrying guns, gives all gun owners a black eye and revokes a constitutional right. Teaching high school students how to have safe sex, teaches them to have sex. Pause for a moment, and question you position, do you really want to oppose the constitutional right of free Americans to defend themselves? Do you want to be an enemy to the Constitution? Do you really want to uphold the teachings of abortion and birth control, in public schools, realizing that these teachings are destroying the morals and virtue of our youth?
