Many of our Founding Fathers were not Christian and were instead Deists, Unitarians, etc. Should we throw away our Constitution?

Thanks for these quotations. Do you have the references for them or perhaps a web page where they were taken from? I am not questioning your sources, but I would like to have these quotations available for future reference.

But Susan B. Anthony said: "...I cannot believe . . . that such a law [prohibiting abortion] would have the desired effect." --Susan B. Anthony, as quoted from her own publication!

This quote from Anthony isn't pro-abortion in the least. She is simply expressing doubts that a law against abortion will have the desired affect.

"Many of our Founding Fathers were not Christian and were instead Deists, Unitarians, etc"

Some perhaps, but many? Nah. The majority were avowed Christians, but they did have the ideal of freedom of religion. Historical revisionists have used quotes out of context (made because of their desire for religious freedom) to try to make the claim you repeat above.

[Lorianne]

Thank you for making my point. Anyone can pull quotes out of context to make any point they wish. See topic starter.

I've collected quotes from many different websites and books on the Founders I've read.

Pulling quotes from historical figures to make a point is easy enough to do. :)

I didn't argue with that point at all. That's exactly what people do who claim our founding fathers were 'diests and unitarians.'

[Lorianne]

Exactly. The same way people imply historical figures who were opposed to abortion actually advocated it.

Jackson Brown wrote: "One problem with this tome is that Susan B. Anthony was outspokenly anti-abortion!" But Susan B. Anthony said: "...I cannot believe . . . that such a law [prohibiting abortion] would have the desired effect." --Susan B. Anthony, as quoted from her own publication! Follow the links for the proof. Thus, she was against any law that would punish those who abort.

Being against abortion, and wanting a law against it are 2 different things. Esp when you have a situation like today where you have a million offendors each year. It is impossible to put 30 million women in prison for life, because we cant afford it. Nor is it likely that you could execute a million women a year. On the other hand, giving very light sentences (not execution nor the death penalty) for murder, obscures whatever you are trying to accomplish by outlawing it.
