...religion was the sole reason behind denying an abortion.I'll agree with you only because early Christians did not kill their children -- whereas their contemporaries, the early Romans, just discarded any unwanted children, leaving them in the street to die or to be rescued by someone else. To me, that is one of the greatest signs that Christianity is the Way and the Truth. If pride were not one of the seven deadly sins, I would say that I am PROUD of the Christian stance on caring for helpless children.
This country was founded on Judeo-Christian principles, and that is why abortion was anathama and illegal. Roe v. Wade is an abomination and a great stain on this society. I pray for its reversal.
I respect your opinion but at the same time I think you ought to consider what your demands represent... what if Islam was the major religion here.. what if paganism was? Would you want murder to be acceptable if Pagan's ran the gov't.. anchary in it's true form? You have to realize that when you push certain moral and ethical boundries onto people that you have view the situation from their eyes. "If I don't believe in God.. in the *** that I was dating stupid condom broke.. if i'm broke.. if I'm better off taking care of my existing kids.. who are you to tell me what is amoral?" You may not like that arguement very much but that's the way life is. People are given a choice by God whether to believe in him or not... If they choose not it is not our place as Christians to force our beliefs into them.
