[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Patients should absolutely be free to make their own medical decisions with their doctor without the interference of religious extremists.

You know there are those who are not religious who don’t believe in abortion. We all know and don’t argue that it’s stilling a life. [b]Do only religious people condemn murder?[/b] Of course not, non religious people don’t believe in that either. Why do many assume non religious people are immune from being anti-abortinists? [/quote]

SOME extremist religious people think it is "murder" based on their religious beliefs.

Why should they force their religious beliefs on EVERYONE ELSE?

Please stop with the “extremist” nonsense and being over dramatic. They are following their religion with fidelity rather than a la carte. 
I am not religious but will not tell someone to pick and choose what their faith says just because I don’t believe I’m it. 
Anyway, it is stopping a life so in essence it’s not  a reach to say it’s murder. 
I’m neutral on the matter, and again, it’s not compulsory to be religious to be against abortion.  [/quote]
Valid concerns about religious extremism in our society isn't being "overdramatic." And your pathetically transparent attempt at being measured and logical is ridiculous on its face. I don't know anyone, nor do you, who "follows their religion with fidelity." Every single person on earth who's religious is picking and choosing based on what they want to do. They're having sex before marriage, they're getting divorced and remarried, they're failing to love their neighbor as themselves, they're anti-immigration, they worship false idols, and so on and so on. You can also stop trying to please the religious crowd, you know. They're going to hate and be scornful of you no matter how nice you try to make, hon, and this doormat attitude is just going to lead to them kicking you more.

And it's all very nice for you to say that you won't tell someone to pick and choose what their faith says, but when their "faith" starts telling them they have the right to choose what *I* do, you better believe I'll tell them they are wrongheaded and push back. Sure, if you want to just sit in your church and keep your religious talk there, if you want to live your life in your [i]own [/i]house such that the woman is subservient to the men, if you choose to "believe" that aborting an 8 week old embryo is "killing a human," go for it. No one is forcing you to stop baptizing your kids, to have a self-sustaining career, to have an abortion even if your own life is at stake; it's yours to do with as you please. Mine isn't, though.

The one thing I agree with you on is it's not necessary to be religious to be anti-abortion. Sure, I know some atheist libertarian dudes who think they have the right to control women's bodies (what was the phrase? Oh, yes, “Your body is mine and you’re having my baby"). I mean, misogyny might be considered a religion in some respects but I grant you that it's not a recognized one (though it's a part of plenty of recognized ones).[/quote]
