A lot of Utahns, and Utah-based institutions, have publically reacted to the leaked Supreme Court daft opinion that would overturn Roe. v. Wade. However, leaders of Utah’s most predominant religion, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, have remained silent since the news dropped.

Tribune religion reporter and co-host of the podcast ‘Mormonland’ Peggy Fletcher Stack joins “The Daily Buzz” to explain the church’s stance on abortion and the possible reasons why they haven’t spoken out in favor or against the predicted decision.

Also on the podcast, Tribune education reporter Connor Sanders discusses the most recent criminal sentence of a Utahn involved with the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Hear all of these stories in the Wednesday, May 4, episode of ‘The Daily Buzz’ podcast. You can listen to both today’s episode and past episodes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and SoundCloud.
