J.D. Vol. 26 pg. 14-15 George Q. Cannon November 20th. 1844 The fact that
we do raise children-the fact that our houses and settlements are full of
healthy offspring, is A STANDING PROTEST AGAINST THE CRIMES OF THE AGE; it is
a standing protest against those ABOMINABLE PRACTICES that are destroying the
foundation of many communities within the confines of the United States, and
they are determined-those who are guilty of these things-that we shall not
exist. The loudest outcry against us, and the most devoted efforts against us,
come from the region where THESE DREADFUL PRACTICES PREVAIL, WHERE WOMEN
MURDER THEIR OFFSPRING BEFORE THEY ARE BORN, ARE GUILTY OF THIS PRE-NATAL
MURDER, among the people of the United States who think themselves the most
enlightened. Twenty-five years ago when I was laboring in the ministry in that
region I visited one of the towns, and the President of the branch of the
Saints there, (an old resident, whose ancestors were among the first settlers
of the town) told me his wife was continually jeered at-and this was 25 years
ago-by her associates, because she bore children, and bore them regular-that
she did not take means to prevent the increase of her family ! If I had not
known him I could scarcely have believed it, it was too horrid. I have learned
since, however, that that is a common practice in that region. The feature of
that society that impresses most vividly a traveler from Utah is the fewness
of children in what are called the best families. And yet it is from there
that the principal outcry is raised against us, and the determination
expressed to break up our families and to destroy us. God has gathered a few
people out from the nations of the earth, out of Babylon. But shall they
partake of these influences? I SAY TO YOU, MY SISTERS, YOU TEACH YOUR
DAUGHTERS AGAINST THIS ACCURSED PRACTICE OR THEY WILL GO TO HELL, THEY WILL BE
D_MNED, THEY WILL BE MURDERERS, AND THE BLOOD OF INNOCENCE WILL BE FOUND UPON
THEM. A MAN THAT WOULD SANCTION SUCH A THING IN HIS FAMILY, OR THAT WOULD LIVE
WITH A WOMAN GUILTY OF SUCH ACTS, SHARES IN THE CRIME OF MURDER. I WOULD NO
MORE PERFORM THE ORDINANCES OF LAYING ON OF HANDS ON A WOMAN WHO IS GUILTY OF
THAT CRIME, IF I KNEW IT THAT I WOULD PUT MY HANDS ON THE HEAD OF A
RATTLESNAKE. WE MUST SET OUR FACES LIKE FLINT AGAINST SUCH ACTS. THESE
DREADFUL PRACTICES ARE COMING UP LIKE A TIDAL WAVE AND DASHING AGAINST OUR
WALLS; for there are women among us who secretly-so I am told, I know nothing
about this personally, but I am told there are women among us who are
instilling THIS MURDEROUS AND ACCURSED IDEAL into the breasts of women and
girls in our midst. NOW JUST AS SURE AS IT IS DONE, AND PEOPLE YIELD TO IT, SO
SURE WILL THEY BE D_MNED, THEY WILL BE D_MNED WITH THE DEEPEST D_MNATION;
BECAUSE IT WILL BE THE D_MNATION OF SHEDDING INNOCENT BLOOD, FOR WHICH THERE
IS NO FORGIVENESS, and I would no more as I say, yet administer to such women,
BAPTIZE THEM, THAN I WOULD A REPTILE. THEY ARE OUTSIDE THE PALE OF SALVATION.
THEY ARE IN A POSITION THAT NOTHING CAN BE DONE FOR THEM. THEY CUT THEMSELVES
OFF BY SUCH ACTS FROM ALL HOPES OF SALVATION.
J.D. Vol. 2 pg. 77 Orson Hyde October 6, 1854 A man, for instance, who has
the most riches, the man who can command the most wealth, I do not say this is
the case with all, but it is the case with the majority-they not only have
their wives and families with whom they publicly live and associate, but they
also have in secret places their mistresses, whom they maintain not honorably,
but under a cloak as it were. When by their illegitimate connections they are
likely to increase their race, what means do they resort to, to save their
credit, to keep their honor unsullied in the eyes of the multitude, to cover
up their iniquity, hide their crimes, and smother their shame ? A SKILFUL
PRACTITIONER IS EMPLOYED TO DESTROY THE EMBRYO OFFSPRING. THIS IS MURDER.
J.D. Vol. 5 pg. 91 Heber C. Kimball July 26, 1857 The priests of the day in
the whole world keep women, just the same as the gentlemen of the Legislatures
do. The great men of the earth keep from two to three, and perhaps
half-a-dozen private women. They are not acknowledged openly, but are kept
merely to gratify their lusts; and if they get in the family way, they call
for the doctors, and also upon FEMALES WHO PRACTICE UNDER THE GARB OF
MIDWIVES, TO KILL THE CHILDREN, and thus they are depopulating their own
species. [Voice: "And their names shall come to an end."] YES,
BECAUSE THEY SHED INNOCENT BLOOD.
J.D. Vol. 20 pg. 355 John Taylor. Nov. 30th. 1879 I feel to proclaim
against the vices of the age, whether in this nation or others; for we as a
nation are fast descending as low as the most degenerate and corrupt nations
of Europe, and are PRACTICING INFAMIES which have been the overthrow and ruin
of many mighty cities, nations and empires, and which are now the loathsome,
UNNATURAL, DISGUSTING, D_MNING SINS OF CHRISTENDOM,. The standing law of God
is BE FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLY; but these reformers are "SWIFT TO SHED
BLOOD." EVEN THE BLOOD OF INNOCENCE, AND WITH THEIR PRE-NATAL MURDERS and
other crimes, are slaying their thousands and tens of thousands with impunity,
to say nothing of that other loathsome, disgusting, filthy institutions of
modern Christendom "the social evil," as well as other infamous
practices. WE MUST PROTEST AGAINST FETICIDE, INFANTICIDE, AND OTHER ABOMINABLE
PRACTICES OF CHRISTENDOM BEING FORCED UPON US, either in the shape of
legislative enactment, judicial decision or any other adjunct of so-called
civilization. WE ARE AMERICAN CITIZENS AND ARE NOT YET DEPRIVED OF THE
INALIENABLE RIGHTS OF LIFE, LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS.

Luke 18:20 THOU KNOWEST THE COMMANDMENTS, do not commit adultery, DO NOT
KILL, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy
mother.
Mosiah 13:21 THOU SHALT NOT KILL. Alma 42:19-22 Now. if there was no law
given-if a man murdered he should die-would he be afraid he would die if he
should murder ? And also, if there was no law given against sin men would not
be afraid to sin. And if there was no law given, if men sinned what could
justice do, or mercy either, for they would have no claim upon the creature?
BUT THERE IS A LAW GIVEN AND A PUNISHMENT AFFIXED, and a repentance granted;
which repentance mercy claimeth; otherwise, justice claimeth the creature and
executeth the law, and the law inflicteth the punishment; if not so, the works
of justice would be destroyed, and God would cease to be God.
Alma 30:10 But if he murdered he was punished unto death; and if he robbed
he was also punished; and if he stole he was also punished; and if he
committed adultery he was also punished; yea, for all this wickedness they
were punished.
1 John 3:15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer; and YE KNOW THAT NO
MURDERER HATH ETERNAL LIFE ABIDING IN HIM.
Exodus 20:13 Thou shalt not kill.
Exodus 21:22-23 If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so THAT HER
FRUIT DEPART FROM HER, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely
punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him: and he shall pay
as the judges determine. 23- AND IF ANY MISCHIEF FOLLOW, THEN THOU SHALT GIVE
LIFE FOR LIFE.
D&C 42:18-19 And now, behold, I speak unto the church. Thou shalt not
kill; and he that kills shall not have forgiveness in this world, nor in the
world to come. And again, I say, THOU SHALT NOT KILL; but he that killeth
shall die.
D&C 132:27 The blasphemy against the Holy Ghost, which shall not be
forgiven in the world nor out of the world, is in that ye COMMIT MURDER
WHEREIN YE SHED INNOCENT BLOOD, and assent unto my death, after ye have
received my new and everlasting covenant, saith the Lord God; and he that
abideth not this law can in nowise enter into my glory, but shall be d_mned,
saith the Lord.
ETHER 8:22-25 AND WHATSOEVER NATION SHALL UPHOLD SUCH SECRET COMBINATIONS,
to get gain, until they shall spread over the nation, behold, they shall be
destroyed; for the Lord will not suffer that the blood of his saints, which
SHALL BE SHED BY THEM, shall always cry unto him from the ground for vengeance
upon them and yet he avenge them not wherefore, O ye Gentiles, it is wisdom in
God THAT THESE THINGS SHOULD BE SHOWN UNTO YOU, THAT THEREBY YE MAY REPENT OF
YOUR SINS, AND SUFFER NOT THAT THESE MURDEROUS COMBINATIONS SHALL GET ABOVE
YOU, which are built up to get power and gain -- and the work, yea, even the
work of destruction come upon you, yea, even the sword of the justice of the
Eternal God shall fall upon you, to your overthrow and destruction if ye shall
suffer these thing to be. WHERE, THE LORD COMMANDETH YOU, WHEN YE SHALL SEE
THESE THINGS COME AMONG YOU THAT YE SHALL AWAKE TO A SENSE OF YOUR AWFUL
SITUATION, BECAUSE OF THIS SECRET COMBINATION WHICH SHALL BE AMONG YOU: OR WO
BE UNTO IT, BECAUSE OF THE BLOOD OF THEM WHO HAVE BEEN SLAIN; FOR THEY CRY
FROM THE DUST FOR VENGEANCE UPON IT, AND ALSO UPON THOSE WHO BUILT IT UP. For
it commeth to pass that whoso buildeth it up seeketh to overthrow the freedom
of all lands, nations, and countries and it bringeth to pass the destruction
of all people, for it is built up BY THE DEVIL, WHO IS THE FATHER OF ALL LIES;
even that same liar who beguiled our first parents, yea, even THAT SAME LIAR
WHO HATH CAUSED MAN TO COMMIT MURDER FROM THE BEGINNING; WHO HATH HARDENED THE
HEARTS OF MAN TO COMMIT MURDER FROM THE BEGINNING; WHO HATH HARDENED THE
HEARTS OF MEN THAT THEY HAVE MURDERED THE PROPHETS, AND STONED THEM, AND CAST
THEM OUT FROM THE BEGINNING.

J.D. Vol 25 pg. 315-317 John Taylor. (1884. Semi - Annual Conference.) We
as a people have to defend ourselves against the aggression of an unscrupulous
enemy who is instigated by the power of the adversary to overturn and destroy
the truth to-day as he has done in other ages, in other nations and among
other peoples. THEREFORE IT BECOMES US TO LOOK WELL AFTER OUR AFFAIRS, AND
PROTECT OURSELVES AS BEST WE MAY FROM THE CALUMNIES, THE REPROACH, AND THE
INFAMIES THAT ARE SOUGHT TO BE FOISTED UPON US BY AN UNGODLY, HYPOCRITICAL AND
CORRUPT PEOPLE.--------------"Dr. Nathan Allen, of Lowell, has declared
in a paper read before a late meeting of the American Social Science
Association, that "nowhere in the history of the world was the practice
OF ABORTION so common as in this country; and he gave expression to the
opinion that, in New England alone many thousands of ABORTIONS are procured
annually." "Dr. Reamy, of the Ohio State Medical Society, says:
"From a very large verbal and written correspondence in this and other
States, together with personal investigation and facts accumulated * * THAT WE
HAVE BECOME A NATION OF MURDERERS.'--------------We do feel honored always to
associate with honorable men and women; BUT WITH THE SEDUCER, WITH HARLOTS,
WITH THIEVES, WITH MURDERERS OF THE INNOCENT, NO ! NEVER ! NO NEVER ! WE WANT
NO ASSOCIATION WITH THEM. As it is stated here by one of these reverend
gentlemen in the East, Speaking of these things, NO MURDERER HATH ETERNAL LIFE
IN HIM, NOR NO MURDERESSES HAVE ETERNAL LIFE IN THEM. I have had these things
read to you for two reasons: First, to show the corruption that exists among
these so-called virtuous people, honorable people, pure people, who are so
shocked at the atrocities that take place in Utah. Another reason is that I
WANT TO WARN OUR BRETHREN AND SISTERS AGAINST THESE INFAMIES, and against
permitting these filthy wretches to come into their houses. They are to low,
too debased, too corrupt; and I speak of it because I know what I am talking
about; there are some of these people crawling around us like so many vipers,
and insinuating THEIR HELLISH, MURDEROUS PRACTICES into the families of some
who call themselves Latter-day Saints. WOE ! TO SUCH SAINTS, YOU CANNOT HAVE A
PLACE AMONG US. NO WOMAN MURDERER, NO MAN MURDERER CAN HAVE A PLACE AMONG THE
LATTER-DAY SAINTS, and I speak of it that the Presidents of Stakes and the
bishops may be apprised of these things. And some of these people would try to
pass by the Bishops, and then by the Presidents of Stakes, and then by the
President of the Church, and crawl with all their slime and D_MNABLE HYPOCRISY
into the Temples of the living God. They may pass by these, but they will have
to pass by the angles and the Gods, before they get through, and THEY WILL
NEVER INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD, Hear it you sisters ! Hear it you brethren !
Hear it you Bishops, and you Presidents of Stakes! WATCH WELL AND KNOW WELL
WHAT YOU ARE DOING, WHEN YOU SIGN RECOMMENDS FOR DOUBTFUL CHARACTERS TO GO
INTO THESE HOLY PLACES, WE DO NOT WANT THEM THERE. IT IS NOT THEIR PLACE, AND
YOU WILL HAFT TO ACCOUNT FOR YOUR ACTS IF YOU PERMIT THESE THINGS KNOWINGLY.
It is necessary that you should be particular about these matters, for you
will have to answer for your doings as I have for mine. WE CANNOT, because of
relationships, because somebody is a cousin, or an uncle, or an aunt, or a
brother, or a sister, or a son or a daughter, or a father or a mother, WE
CANNOT ADMIT AND WILL NOT ADMIT THEM TO ANY OF THESE HOLY PLACES unless they
are worthy. I call upon you if you know of adulterers or adulteresses, or
people that practice these unnatural infamies, TO SEVER THEM FROM THE CHURCH;
THEY SHALL NOT HAVE A PLACE IN THE CHURCH AND KINGDOM OF GOD.
