...was that supposed to be a serious question? Abortion isn't a crime in our country because it doesn't hurt anyone else and the mother has to bear the consequences of the choice herself. Her body, her choice. Murder is a crime because you infringe upon someone's else's right to live. Why should the Bible influence our social policy? Our country doesn't have an official religion and we have a doctrine in the Constitution that says there should be a permanent separation of church and state. The point is it doesn't matter what the Bible says about the issue because the Bible isn't our Constitution our country's law. I agree that the Bible probably condemns those who have an abortion, but the Bible doesn't determine our social policy, we do.

Well, you used a poll that showed that 53% of Americans supported abortion to justify a practice that (according to your info) 43% of Americans believe is murder. I'm not saying abortion is right or wrong, I'm saying public opinion polls are not a way to justify abortion being legal. Also, you said the Bible doesn't say anything about abortion. well, it does. (Why would God command that someone be "severely punished" for killing something that isn't alive? That'd be like God telling them to stone people to death for cutting down a thistle bush) Finally where the heck did I say the Bible should or shouldn't influence our nation's social policy? I don't know how you got that, but I most certainly did not say anything about that.
