Generally people from the LDS have been tolerant in my experience.  Maybe this is just an example of an individuals bad judgement?  Religion is about compassion and forgiveness.  And God doesn't make mistakes with beautiful little children.  Maybe God is sending us a message we are over stressing our environment.  Maybe you folks are not listening to a God that is alive and present about a problem we created.  Could be.  Seems that way a little to me.  The more the population grows, the more we pressure our environment, the more garbage we put in the water and air, the less people are motivated to procreate.  Maybe that is God's plan and safety mechanism.  Or the plants could get us.
