For points b and c, you have a point. As a Christian, would push for abortion to be be illegal, even in cases of rape. Only if life is threatened would abortion be a valid option. You do not have the right to kill another human for non-self-defense reasons. Also would oppose euthanasia, which your coma case would fall under. You do not have the right to take the life given to you. So, that would be 'pushing Christianity' on you that would approve of (to be blunt).

Would disagree, at least in part, with your point a, anti-miscegenation laws are not Biblical--where did you hear/read that those laws were due to religious reasoning (not arguing that they weren't--some nominal Christians have pretty crazy ideas--but there were also secular reasons, i.e. racial purity and eugenics)?

For Christians, Manasseh and Ephraim were the products of miscegenation (Hebrew and Egyptian), Rahab (a Canaanite) was chosen to be part of God's lineage, God apparently honored Bathsheba and Uriah's (Israelite and Hittite, another Canaanite) marriage.

Wouldn’t oppose you being able to buy alcohol (or other things) on Sunday; it is largely the issues when life is going to be taken where there is not leeway, for obvious reasons: if you see something as murder, you are bound to oppose its legalization.

From the case of Loving V Virginia Judge Leon Bazile said this:

Almighty God created the races white, black, yellow,and red, and he placed them on separate continents. And but for the interference with his arrangement there would be no cause for such marriages. The fact that he separated the races shows that he did not intend for the races to mix.
