>Who do you mean by "this bunch"?

The sad people who believe they have the right and duty to impose their religious values about abortion on the whole of society...not unlike the way Muslims want to impose shariah law...

People really need to keep private personal business...private and personal, and worry about living up to their own standards.

Unborn human beings were protected by law by 50 state laws in 50 states, passed by 50 state legislatures in the 100 years before before Roe vs Wade. A few states had liberalized their laws in the late 60's or early 70's-- withdrawing the protection of law from a vulnerable class --- but ALL states had some degree of protection.

This was not some church or religion imposing its distinctive faith-position on the public. This was a consensus about the duty of government to prevent the destruction of nascent human life. It was struck down not by popular demand, but by a Supreme Court which conjured a "right to abortion" out of fanciful "emanations from the penumbra" of the Constitution; even its supporters say it's an egregious instance of justices "legislating from the bench."

Protective laws benefiting our children near the beginning of their lifespan can be defended on non-creedal grounds and supported by people of any religion or no religion at all.

You might want to do a little reading on this. I recommend :

John T. Noonan, Jr. ed., The Morality of Abortion: Legal and Historical Perspectives (Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press 1970.)

Mary Ann Glendon, Abortion and Divorce in Western Law (Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press 1987).

What is truly sad is that you insist on comparing anyone who has a fundamental objection to the murder of unborn children to adherents of sharia law - where murder is often condoned in the name of "honor". There are many people who understand that the pro-life crowd is not the group that is forcing their will on people. Instead, it is the pro-abortion crowd, of which Planned Parenthood is a proud member, who have foisted their twisted lack of morality on everyone else.

PP, after all, receives a large amount of taxpayer subsidy, with which they perform abortions. Therefore, this abominable organization (with its racist roots) is forcing anyone with a moral objection to abortion to pay for the murder of these innocent babies anyway.

You made a good point about not liking being called a DUmmie because you disagreed. And then you followed up with a series of vicious ad-hominems just like most DUmmies would do. Make up your mind, FRiend. If you don't want to be called a duck, stop quacking.
