Christian version of Sharia Law?


As an old white man, I understand the abortion question as: When is a person a person?  The only answer to this is a religious one.  The only biblical reference I find that comes close to answering the question is: Genesis 2.7 “and the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.”  Now, I don’t want to argue that the ability to breathe determines when the soul enters the body, but I’m certainly not going to argue against it.  Freedom of religion means we are allowed to believe what we want, without others forcing their beliefs on us.  From my  point of view the pro-lifers are trying to legislate religion just like the Sharia law they oppose so much.
