    Some believe in a separation of church and state. Some do not.

    Besides, there is nothing in the Bible about abortion. This is a made up wedge issue created by Pat Robinson during the Reagan years.

      Well, there is something in the Bible about abortion… it says to give an abortifacient to women suspected of cheating on their husbands. If she miscarried, means she was cheating. If that’s not fucked up, I don’t know what is.

        Not only that, but according to the Bible, life begins at the first breath taken after birth. Also according to the Bible, the punishment for injuring a woman and causing her to miscarry is the same as for loss of property, which is dramatically different from the punishment for murder.

        Kinda takes the wind out of the “abortion is murder” argument, from a biblical perspective, at least.
