Is being anti-abortion necessarily a religious belief?

Tony — 8/10/2005 4:42:58 PM (archived)

If I were a follower of a religion that mandated I sacrifice a chicken at my place of work every day, would you oppose my nomination to SCOTUS?
Or if my religion thought it was pure and proper to embezzle from Mom and Pop shops?

now ask yourself why JFK thought it necessary to say he was not beholden to the Catholic church but the American people......

        Religious organizations, along with other apolitical nonprofits, enjoy special tax status. - Mary Anne - 8/10/2005 6:52:27 PM
        
        Seriously: Please get the Democrats to take the Catholic Church's Tax exempt status away over the abortion issue... - Scott Evil - 8/10/2005 10:41:15 PM
        
        The social justice issues trump the abortion issue for many Catholics. - Mary Anne - 8/11/2005 12:27:37 AM
