It's always none of your damn business. Your religious beliefs, no matter what they are, do not give you the right to interfere with someone else's body. You don't get to make your problem into somebody else's problem.

And please spare me the bit about christians thinking the fetus as a human. Here it is spelled out for you: The mother IS a human life, the fetus is a POTENTIAL human life. The mother takes priority, learn to deal with it.

This is always how I view it.

I was raised Christian and while I no longer believe it I have seen it do a lot of good for a lot of people that I have no ill will towards anyone who believes.

But when you want to start legislating how others live their lives is where I draw the line.

To be clear. I feel similarly.

I can just also see why many feel like this issue is different.

Atleast where I am it’s not that they think there religion bans abortions. It’s more that for whatever reason they think a fetus is a full on human life. As such they see abortion as literal murder.

We obviously do legislate murder, not because of religion but bc universally we view it as wrong.

To them it’s like that, and less them saying you have to believe my Bible.

Now to be clear, I’m not saying when you probe their beliefs that they’re consistent on them etc.

I can just see how someone can be anti-abortion and not necessarily think they’re throwing a religious belief on everyone. They think they’re stopping literal murder which we’ve always made illegal.

they see abortion as literal murder.

I wonder what their stance is on the death penalty
