I'm fine for people to go ahead and base their morals on the bible, and yes that would imply that life begins at conception and that abortion is wrong. However when they try and force their beliefs on everyone (ie. make abortion illegal) I have a problem.

The question 'when does human life begin?' isn't easily answered, a very large segment of the population believes it begins part way through the pregnancy, another very large part believes it begins at the start of the pregnancy.

The pro-choicers aren't forcing the people who believe life begins at conception to have abortions, so I don't see why those people should force people who believes human life begins later not to have abortions.

Wouldn't you stop a murderer or rapist from committing their crimes, despite whatever they believe, though? Furthermore, in all these cases (murder, rape, abortion), for the opposers of such acts, there are more than 2 parties involved (it's not just the murderer and the opposer, it's also the potential victim).  So, for the opposer, if he decides not to force his beliefs on someone, then, according to his beliefs, he is allowing that someone to force their beliefs on someone else.
