There is a consensus about murdering people, about stealing things, and about attacking other people. No one is debating the issue. Those things are illegal because over 95% of the country believes they should be illegal.
Here is a poll on abortion taken a few days ago for comparison:
http://www.pollingreport.com/abortion.htm
With respect to the abortion issue, would you consider yourself to be pro-choice or pro-life?
Pro-Choice Pro-Life Unsure about terms Neither/Unsure
53% 44% 2% 2%
A majority of the country thinks abortion should be legal.
Where in the Bible does it say that aborting a child is murder? I am not saying the Bible condones abortion, but there is a legitimate debate over when a fetus is actually alive.
I can easily find you a place in the Bible where it will tell you that judging others will make your judgment even harsher.
Please, don't compare people saying murder should be illegal to people saying abortion should be illegal or you are just ignoring the facts of how Americans actually feel.

Wait a minute. You think that if a majority of the country believes murder or stealing is ok, it should be legal?
Also, if you want to bring the Bible into this discussion, try this verse on for size:
Exodus 21:22 (KJV)
If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.
I'd say that God did care about fetuses....

Isn't there a verse in the bible about a fellow spilling his seed and god did him in with lightning or some such god like thing?
I spill my seed all over the place and even though I've been through many thunderstorms, god has missed me every time.
