Q: What Right Has Any Religious Body to Impose Its Morality?

If this were a sectarian religious belief, there would be justice to such a complaint. In fact, this is not a religious question except in the broad sense of equal rights, dignity, and justice for all.

If any religious philosophy has been imposed upon a nation, it is secular humanism. The u.S. Supreme court has defined humanism as a religion. The officer corps of the pro-abortion movement is almost entirely made up of secular humanists who have imposed their beliefs upon our nation.

I have the right to swing my fist, but that right stops at your nose. A woman has certain (not total) rights to her own body, but not over another living human’s body just because he or she still happens to live inside her.

The ten commandments forbad homicide and stealing. So do the laws of every civilized nation. Do those laws impose religious morality? Hardly!

This is a civil rights issue. It is a question of whether an entire class of living humans shall be deprived of their basic right to life on the basis of age and place of residence.

Perhaps the question should be turned around :

what right does a mother and her abortionist
have to impose their morality upon
her unborn child . . . Fatally ?

Women must have the right to control their own bodies, or we go back to the kind of oppressive, misogynistic society that prevailed, and still prevails in many places.

Sami, I think you meant to add a question mark after your last two statements... I'm not going to touch that one.
