I believe just that is their goal. Strange, isn't it, that the fact that NOT having safe abortion available had a price in lives has been conveniently forgotten?

That statement presumes that a fetus is a person. Thousands of years of theological and philosophical history says its not.

But the RR says both you and Roe v. Wade got it wrong and abortion IS murder. It's that belief that leads to the rest of the trouble.

Let's not limit it to just me and Roe v. Wade. The religious right ignores the scriptures and the theologians that preceded them. The RR says Judaism got it wrong; the Talmud got it wrong; the old Testament got it wrong; St. Thomas Aquinas got it wrong. Where does the "religious" right get their theological opinion from?

P.S. And the Founding Fathers got it wrong as abortion was allowed under common law.

P.P.S. In our democracy, it's supposed to be the will of the people that determines it's laws; 2/3 of the people believe that Roe v. Wade should not be overturned and that abortion should be legal.
