I applaud you for your pro-life stance. But let's do a reality check. Of those who are anti-abortion, what percent do you suppose are religious? I think it's very high, probably 80% or better.
What does that prove? That religious people are anti-choice and want to force their set of morals down everyone's throats? Or that they are just sheep, following whatever their leaders say? Or that people who don't think for themselves and want to force their worldview down everyone else's throats are also religious?
If you ask ten people who don't go to church if they consider themselves religious and/or believe in god, I'll bet most would say yes. But if that is actually true, why are they so anti-religious in their daily actions? I'm guessing most people either feel they MUST say they are religious, or use religion as a salve to cover their own guilty consciences.
