I do not see it as a casual motion. I went to Brigham Young U in Provo, Utah (their law school on a Merit Scholarship) for about ten days and pre-marital sex is not part of the Mormon religion. It was also against the Moral Code of the school which you were supposed to adhere to or get reprimanded.

I dropped out after ten days because a Mormon beauty already had me in her sights only probably because I was unmarried and going to BYU Law School. I did not think I could adhere to their Moral Code while also staying a non-Mormon. There was also quite a bit of peer pressure just in those ten days to convert to Mormonism. My on campus BYU roommate was a very recent convert from Puerto Rico who also wanted me to follow in his footsteps. Kind of hard to study law when all of this other stuff is going on too. I needed BYU's permission on where I could live while going to their law school.
Amusingly, most of the men at BYU Law School were married and a little older than me because of their Mormon missionary requirement. The very few women at BYU Law School were also for the most part married. This was in 1982.
It should be really interesting if a Mormon takes over the White House in January 2013. We should all be learning quite a bit more about the intricacies of that religion if that actually happens.
