You doubt the veracity of the answer?
He made this decision as a Illinois state senator. He had no jurisdiction, nobody's life was impacted by his decision, few people were even listening. I fail to see the risk involved, or the significance. But you do. I can respect that.

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
