The Libertarian in me hurts at the last part of this. Abortion should be legal, end of sentence. Oh but it is against your religion, fine who cares.
Religious freedom is my religion tells me I can or cannot do something, Religious Persecution is when your religion tells me I can or cannot do something. With Abortion being legal you are not obligated to go out and get one, with abortion being illegal you are allowing your religion to tell others what they can or cannot do. And the best salt comes from the useful idiots, and although a term coined by commies about there own subjects, it does seem to fit in some situations for others......
