I just said Christians because protestant Christians are the majority in the U.S. Islam is set just as far back in the Iron Age as well. Usually when, discussing a problem with logic, you try to include things that exist or are even remote possibilities. When you start to include things liek "Sin" the argument really gets dumbed down. I mean if you believe in Original Sin then why can't we kill anyone who's not baptized. I mean will kill sinners who sin as adults. So why can't we kill unbaptizied fresh sinners? Or is there different degrees of Sin? All this time I thought pro-life was antiwar, but apparently its pro-fetus, for killing humans. I'm so confused. I guess your stance on social issues, is very much reflected by the current trends in popular religion.

Even if you don't agree with Abortion, which I think it "ideally" would be a worst case scenario. You have to admit that outlawing something doesn't stop it. War on Drugs didn't do much except fill prisons, demand still hasn't gone down. If you want to change peoples ideas about abortion, you have to educate, and create a society in which people don't need to have an abortion.
