I don’t know Bruce – I was raised in the United Church of Christ and was taught from the Heidelberg Catechism that all men (and women I suppose) are conceived in sin…tainted from the Original sin of Adam and Eve, this is why Christ had to be sacrificed to wash us clean. Perhaps your faith teaches a different reason (other than original sin) for why we needed Christ to die for us but I’m not sure we can call the unborn “innocent” when no one else gets that pass from God.
I think you miss the point. The point isn’t whether or not you believe it is murder. The point is whether or not the question of abortion is a constitutional one or a legislative one.
