Air America/Twin Cities is airing a psa from LDS Family Services...

[MnFats]

concerning young women & unplanned pregnancies.
The female narrator's voice is filled with compassion and warmth, talking about "having to make the biggest decisions of your life when most girls your age are worried about having a bad hair day."
The listener is encouraged to call LDS Family Services.
LDS Family Services, of course, is Latter Day Saints Family Services -- the Mormon Church.

Gee, i wonder if LDS Family SERvices explains ALL options to young pregnant women who call? here is a snipped from the LDS Family Services website (note the 'personal worthiness' standard:


The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints calls upon LDS Family Services, a separate corporation, to help meet the social and emotional needs of Church members and others. Services include:
1. Placement of children for adoption with couples who meet legal requirements and the Church's personal worthiness standards. (See Adoption of Children)
2. Counseling and support for unwed parents, to help them with issues and decisions pertaining to marriage, adoption, and single parenthood.
3. Placement of children in foster homes that will promote healthy individual development and positive family relationships.
4. Therapy and referrals for members having personal or family problems, to allow them to receive help from resources that are respectful of LDS values.
Members are generally referred for assistance to LDS Family Services by their bishops. The agency staff strives to work in harmony with ecclesiastical leaders and, at moderate fees, to provide services consistent with LDS values, such as individual responsibility, the sanctity of the family and human life, the eternal worth of souls, and the importance of experiences in mortality.



'mortality' is their typo, not mine.

my question: What is this ad doing on Air America? Why not give time to Randall Terry?

1. Because they are a PAID sponsor

The Mormons are thinking they are triangulating, wedging, what not.

AAR is taking the money! They'd take Randall's money too, but he is a cheapass who wants only free publicity.
