Then why not continue down that path and say if you don't believe in murder then don't kill someone, but if you believe difficult choices have to made in the real world then go ahead and kill that person you believe does not deserve to live?
Aaugh! Abortion is a crazy issue. I can not help but believe your freedom of choice is at the point you decide to have sexual relations with another being. You have many choices within the next 24 hours to decide if you want a baby or not.

Two of the biggest hot button issues (as shoved under our fingernails by the extremist media) are abortion and same sex marriage.
Both have a very simple answer, if it is against your religion don't do it.
That's where all rights begin and end ... in our own bodies and with our own life.
