Why should your religious belief determine reproductive decisions for another's family?

The argument that pro-lifers are imposing their religious beliefs on others is a stupid, hollow sham.

Many people who are opposed to abortion belong to religious groups that also have believers who think abortion is okay. What can be learned from that fact?

Belonging to a particular religion is not the determining factor in one's beliefs regarding abortion.

Will you allow me to be opposed to the murder of a six year old child?

Will you allow me to be opposed to the murder of all the children in the Federal Building in Oklahoma City?

Will you allow me to be opposed to the murder of Polly Klass?

Or will you say I am imposing my religious beliefs on you?

It's a topsy-turvy world in which people can't defend life, just because their religion happens to defend life.

believers who think abortion is okay.

What religion thinks abortion is ok?

Just to make it clear, I don't think abortion is "ok". It is most often the wrong decision and it is done way too often for the wrong reasons. But it is not up to me or you or the government to decide reproductive matters for other people.
