Careful there Steven, I am quite sure God is capable of punishing those who deserve it without punishing all of us for the sins of others.

Your numbers are a bit off. A little more than 50% support abortion. Our nation has 280 million people. 180 million righteous is a bit much. By the way Psalms says it rains on the righteous as well as the wicked.

I believe it depends on the wording of the question. I think it's about 60-40 for both these questions (which have opposite consequences).

1) Do you believe in the right of a woman to choose whether or not to have an abortion?
2) Do you believe in the rights of the unborn child?

But I do think that there's a sense of communal guilt (which we see in the OT) that we, as an individualistic nation have gotten away from. Our actions do affect others. Our sin does affect others. To pretend otherwise is to put our heads in the sand.

"...over 50 per cent support abortion ..."
Steven, you may be right, but I sincerely hope and pray that you are mistaken in your statistics .
