Abstract: In 1999, a new LDS church policy gave Mormons significant freedom. For the first time in 170 years, birth control is officially a completely personal decision. This paper compares the new 1998-99 policy on birth control with previous official policies in 1989, 1976, and 1969. Other historical views on LDS birth control and childbearing are reviewed. The benefits of the new birth control and childbearing are reviewed. The benefits of the new birth control policy are explored, while the effects of previous policies are also considered. Statements from parents will share how past birth control policies after their lives. The year 2000 also marks the 40th anniversary of the Pill, the first time in history when women could safely and effectively control childbearing by taking the pill. It also marked 30 years of Planned Parenthood in Utah.

From the 1991 Sunstone Symposium
Presentation: The “One Anointed and Appointed”: An Analysis of Polygamist Priesthood Authority
Presenters:
Chair: Anne Wilde
Brian C. Hales, M.D.
J. Ma Anderson, architect; author, The Polygamy Story: Fiction and Fact
Fred Collier, writer; publisher, Doctrines of the Priesthood
Abstract: The modern polygamy movement boasts more participants today than existed at the time of the 1890 Manifesto. However, many divisions exist among these current practitioners of plural marriage. One important area of contrast concerns the keys sealing restored through Joseph Smith. These keys must be utilized if present marriages are to be “valid in the world to come.” This paper will examine several of the priesthood lines of polygamist sealing authority with an emphasis on Lorin C. Woolley’s purported 1886 ordinations, including the claims of the LeBarons, Joseph W. Musser, the Allreds, the “Shortcreek” polygamists, and various “Independents.”

Presentation: Whoa, Man, What’s Not History? Hugh Had Better Believe It
Presenters:
Chair: Matthew Hulse
Samuel W. Taylor, author, Nightfall at Nauvoo
Newell Bringhurst, instructor, History and Political Science, College of the Sequoias
Abstract: How intellectually honest was Hugh Nibley’s attack on Fawn Brodie’s biography of Joseph Smith? While simultaneously shedding more light on the true characters of Smith, his biographer, and the early church, this paper excoriates Nibley for sins of omission, commission, and plenty of over-zealous mission.
