#1 - I am not pro-abortion. Both my wife and I have done volunteer work in a crisis pregnancy center. Its mission was to counsel young girls with unwanted pregnancies and provide support in the hopes that they'd choose to carry their pregnancies to term. Loving potential parents are waiting in line to adopt infants.
I also believe that life begins at conception.
But I believe that a women should have the right to have that developing life removed from her body until the point of viability of the fetus.... and beyond if her life is in danger.
I don't believe it is the government's place to compel, by force of law, a woman to carry a pregnancy to term.
As a Christian, just because I find a particular action to be a sin, doesn't mean I believe that the government should use its power to make that action illegal.
In fact the worst scenario for Christianity of any religion FTM, would be to have the government enforce its doctrines. Faith should be freely chosen without the coercive hand of government intruding.
