"When it comes to ethical and social issues, there is widespread agreement between classical Christians and Latter-day Saints. Stephen E. Robinson, a professor of ancient scripture at Brigham Young University, correctly notes that 'Evangelicals and Latter-day Saints share the same moral standards, the same family values, the same old-fashioned standards of personal conduct.' Furthermore, both groups recognize that personal morality is of fundamental importance to a society's corporate character. In the words of Joseph F. Smith, sixth president of the LDS Church. 'The character of a community or a nation is the sum of the individual qualities of its component members.' Thus on such issues as same-sex marriage and abortion, Latter-day Saints have worked with both evangelicals and Roman Catholics in defending conservative positions on these matters in both the public square and the legal arena. There is no doubt that the LDS Church encourages its people to love what is good, true, and beautiful. In the words of a popular LDS youth saying, it teaches them from an early age to 'Choose the Right.'" [Author]
