Reply #22: I believe it's about seperation of Church and State

[berni_mccoy]

The morality argument of abortion is based on religious faith.. that you are obstructing God's will and comitting murder.

It is a faith-based decision that the unborn is an independent entity.

And to legislate abortion is to legislate the faith of religion.

I don't buy the inverse argument that killing is illegal is based in Christianity. We know killing is wrong, instinctively and religions have picked up on that instinct to create a set of morals.

But there are many faith-based wrongs that come out of making abortion illegal... so many so that it becomes a decision of faith alone.

We must resist any attempt to blur the lines between church and state. Some day Christianity may be the minority here, and I wonder what the RW Chrisitians would think if the Pledge changed to Under Allah instead of Under God...
