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.
