Anyone who claims that those against legal abortion is always or even often acting out of some bigoted kind of intolerance isn't making an attempt in good faith to understand the viewpoint of the opposition. Intolerance ain't the cause.

As i see it...this situation effects only the mother, "Her" unborn child, fetus, or embryo, and the immediate family involved. I fail to see what business it is of any outside entity, as to the life choices of those involved.
If my sister has an abortion today, What right do you have to tell her she is wrong. And why should you care? Please don't give me the" God says so" line as it is totally irrelevant to the "legal" aspects of this situation.
This entire issue revolves around a christian belief in the quickening of an embryo, and the reach for power by a fundementally religious administration.I cannot, and will not be the judge of the laws of the church, but it should not be allowed to hold me to its laws if I am not of the faith.
If I lived in Sauidi Arabia, I would not be able to tolerate the religious laws of state and neither would you, yet my own government feels the need to ignore its own constitution, and blur the seperation our forefathers attempted to create.
It is the right of every American to practice, and believe the religion of thier choice. It is not rhe right of the government to issue one to its people.
