Nedder,

I do not look upon ones stance of Pro-Choice or Right-to-Life as a religious issue, and nowhere have I ever designated it as such. In the USA we have what they call the separation of Church and State. The abortion issue, is a political one, and if you fail to see that, then you are either from another country, or not paying very close attention.

Granted, there are people that may oppose abortion because of their religious beliefs, there are political races won and lost because of the candidates position on the issue, and there are laws governing the issue. I will never condemn anyone for their religious beliefs. I might condemn certain religions, like Scientology, Christian Scientist, Methodist, Mormons, Church of England and Judaism, but I would never condemn the members of these congregations for their beliefs.

Also, I think the fact that I find a particular political platform to be inane falls short of a condemnation. Inane only means ludicrous, asinine, idiotic, senseless, moronic, stupid, etc. It is not a condemnation.

I am sorry you fail to see that Right to Life offers only one choice, while the Pro-Choice offers many. Right to Lifers do offer only one possibility, if you get knocked up, no matter what the circumstances, you carry the baby to term.

Pro-Choice, by definition, allows for any one of a number of alternatives, including, but not limited to carrying the baby to term. Pro-Choice is not pro-abortion, it only offers it as an alternative. The mother makes the decision based on her own personal, religious, moral or political belief.
