I fully agree with you. I’m an evangelical Christian and fully against abortion.

I’ve marched at March for Life several times and fully believe and tell people that if they were to remove or greatly lessen all the religious imagery, far more people would be attracted to the pro-life message.

Many evangelicals are very uncomfortable with all the catholic imagery, Maryology, rosaries etc, thus don’t participate in public pro-life causes.

The science is extremely strong that life begins at conception. Let’s put more concentration on that.

Everybody knows (really) that life begins at conception. And everybody has known that from the first time they heard about "Daddy's tiny seed" at about age 6 (or earlier if their mom was pregnant with their little brother or sister.)

The problem is that people don't care.

A person who "knows" that human life begins at conception,could saute human embryos in a little butter and garlic and serve them on basmati rice.

It's generally (though admittedly not always) religion that gets them to the point of caring. It's a larger faith --- religious faith usually, though not always --- that gives them the doctrine, or just juices the intuitive hunch, that "human" is not totally like "animal, vegetable, or cybernetic."

It's sacred.

I do understand what you're saying about a secular approach. I did that for years.

What I have seen is that if people lose their all-in attachment to a religious scale of values, they'll get the "science" but they won't give a damn.
