It has been made a religious by the extreme right wing evangelist zealots.....and not appropriate for the President or Vice President to be a part of either "side." Right now it is legal in the USA.....Go to another thread to debate your beliefs, etc....this thread is the "Trump Presidency" and as such, should not get in the mix.. Is that too difficult to comprehend? I know I have interjected my beliefs on this thread, but trying to get some of you people to stay focused on the issue of Gov't and Church is a waste of time. Your personal beliefs are not the issue in this particular comment which Duchess first commented that she couldn't believe Pence was speaker at the pro-life march......Vice President was totally inappropriate and the fact that some of you don't get this, validates my point that some of you are just obtuse.
You can have morality with the absence of religion and church, BB. Morality isn't a personal opinion or belief, it's just knowing right from wrong. Obviously it's wrong to murder someone unless it's in self defense, right? When the murderer is punished no one questions it being a religious issue.
On the other hand religion is often pushed as morally right, as with homosexuals. Homosexuals aren't hurting anyone though so that's a religious belief and doesn't have anything to do with morality.
But abortion, well just how right do you think that is BB? When you have an abortion you are taking a life aren't you? That's not a belief, it's a fact. So to me it's much more than the government trying to tell women what to do with their bodies based on religion. Its much bigger than that.
Abortion may be necessary in the world we live in, but that doesn't mean it's morally right.
