Mormon group speaks out against Romney
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — When Honduran-born Antonella Cecilia Packard converted to the Mormon Faith 20 years ago, she said it was like "coming home."
The Catholic-educated Packard, who grew up in "the middle of Mayan ruins," appreciated the faith's strong sense of family and conservative values. She also saw her own history in the Book of Mormon with stories of migrations, tragedies and triumphs of a people many Mormons believe are the ancestors of some present-day Latinos.
But two decades after her conversion while a college student at Mississippi State, the 43-year-old Packard finds herself on a new mission: defeating Mitt Romney and any Mormon politician who betrays what she sees as a basic Mormon principle of protecting immigrants.

resident and member of Somos (We are) Republicans. "But a lot of us aren't supporting him because of his stance against immigrants."
In addition, Ignacio Garcia, a history professor at Brigham Young University and a Sunday school teacher at his Mormon ward, said the recent political moves by Hispanic Mormons are gaining attention because Hispanics are the fastest growing group among the LDS faith in the U.S.
"Yes, we are happy that we have a Mormon running for president," Packard, a Saratoga Springs.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints does not keep ethnic data on its 6 million or so members in the United States. But according to a 2011 national survey of Mormons by Pew Research Center's Forum on Religion & Public Life, Latinos make up 7 percent of Mormons in the U.S.
The church says the number of Spanish-speaking units has grown from 403 in 2001 to nearly 800 last year.

Meeting for abortion subsidies postponed
TOPEKA—A Kansas House committee has postponed its vote on a bill aimed at preventing the state from subsidizing abortions even indirectly through tax credits or deductions.
Chairman Steve Brink said he cancelled Monday's meeting of the House Federal and State Affairs Committee to give members more time to draft possible amendments.
Brunk, a Bel Aire Republican, expects a vote next week. The committee's approval would send the bill to
the full House.
The bill also rewrites the state's informed consent law, requiring doctors to provide certain information before terminating a woman's pregnancy. It would require doctors to allow patients to hear a fetal heartbeat.
The measure would also prohibit schools from incorporating materials from groups that provide abortions into classes on human sexuality or sexually transmitted diseases.
