    Here in America they try to frame it as a non-religious opposition to abortion.

    But we know the anti abortion movement are Christians. Right?

    Your religion shouldn’t impact other people.

    Agree.

      How you cite?

      As I said, they try to define it that way but for it’s tied to religion for most people.

      I’m an atheist. I do attend mass but like Dawkins I just like the tradition and ceremony. I fully support abortion and even if I believed in God I’d support abortion.

      I believe in the concept of a “soul”. Not in a paranormal way but there is more to us than just a chemical interaction but it goes away when we die. I do not think it’s formed until much later in life. As such, when we are in the womb, we are the potential for more but we are nothing special.

      Now I don’t mind some crossover between religion and government. I like having Christmas off. I don’t really celebrate it but it’s a nice holiday.

      What I don’t like is when we take purely religious concepts and try to ban others behavior because of your sky god. Abortion is an example since some religions allow it and some deny it.
