[QUOTE="TechGrrl, post: 1059252, member: 4932"] I respect your sincerely held religious belief. Unfortunately, there are equally sincere believers in OTHER religious faith communities that do not agree with your particular rationale. In a pluralistic democracy, where the governing document clearly states that individuals have the freedom to worship as they please (or not worship as they please) there must be a respect for each others' faith, and a willingness to accept that others believe differently, and have the right to do so. The Supreme Court has made abortion legal, and that remains the law of the land. I have no idea if YOUR beliefs require a woman to die from an ectopic pregnancy or septicemia; if they do, you worship a god I do not recognize. How do you feel about birth control? If you believe that hormonal birth control or the morning after pill is an abortifacient, in the face of medical facts that say they are not, we again have no common ground. And I respectfully ask you to live according to your beliefs, while allowing me to live according to mine. [/QUOTE]
