Because there are some of us that want common sense in our politics. Most of us aren't out there to legislate morality. We are out there to get rid of abortion as a matter of irresponsiblity.

If someone wants to have an abortion I'd even go so far as allow them to terminate in the 1st 3 months. What they do as far as sinning is between them and God.

God never meant for us as individuals to judges. He does command us to obey the laws of the state.

Therefore those of us who are actually true conservatives understand that it's a States rights issue. We believe the people get the choice. If California wants abortions for everyone at anytime.. let them.. that's their choice. If South Carolinans want to not have any abortions in any case that's their choice. People can move to where they feel most comfortable.

As far as yourself.. you just make sure you aren't involved in a decision to have an abortion. Preach to others about the importance of not having an abortion. Stop trying to force everyone to be your kind of Christian. That's not what the bible teaches at all. It says to mind yourself and let God worry about the rest.

Why only the first three months? Why is it different after three months?

Yes, but what about when Christians have the ability to influence what those laws are? Christians had absolutely no influence when that particular Scripture was written.

Yes, that's correct, even if Roe v. Wade was overturned, it wouldn't stop any abortions, just reverse it back to a states' issue.

Well, if abortion is murder, don't Christians have a justifiable objective to stop the acts?

Also, based on your paragraph above, it seems you would have little objection to supplying terrorists with weapons; after all, it is their choice as to how they use those weapons. Just wondering.
