Well, I should clarify, not all religious people are bad. My best friend in the whole world is an Orthodox Jew (he doesn’t roll on Shabbos!). I know I just kinda pulled an “I’m not racist! I have several black friends!” there, but it’s true. Plenty of good religious people out there. It’s just that religion does enable a very special type of hypocritical dickishness. The kind of person who’s a good Christian and always tells people to do unto others, until a gay person wants to buy a cake for their wedding or someone wants to get an abortion, y’know?
Not wanting to provide a cake for a gay wedding does not make someone a hypocrite. If it is their beliefs that Gay marriage is a sin, then it is natural that they would want no part of that sin. It doesn't mean they can't wish the couple well. It just means they do not want to be a part of what their beliefs say is wrong.
And anti abortion transcends a persons religious convictions.
We live in a society where we are not allowed to kill another human being. Many think that societal rule should extend to a baby before it is born. Science itself has started shedding light on just how early a fetus is considered a living organism separate from the mother.
The pro abortionist keep touting a woman's right to choose what to do with her own body, but what the woman is affecting is not her body. Right from conception a unique human DNA exists that is completely separate from the mother's or the father's. The growth cycle of a genetically distinct human being has begun, and that growth cycle does not stop until about 24 years of age at which point humans stop growing and start slowly dying, or what we call aging.
We are not legally allowed to terminate that growth cycle in those 24 years, so why should it be legal to terminate it in the first 24 weeks as the States allow.
And if we are going to arbitrarily pick a point where it is legally allowed to terminate the human growth cycle, just for someone's convenience of not having to take some responsibility when having sex. Why have it at 24 weeks?
Why not have it at two years? Let Mothers be able to see if they like Motherhood first. If they don't, then they can abort the toddler's growth cycle.
Or why not 15 years? That way the mother can tell if the kid has grown up to be a jerk. If they have, then they can abort the child's growth cycle, so she doesn't have to deal with their shit anymore.
Just think of how much that would save society if we allowed Mothers to do that. All those asshole kids could just have their growth cycles aborted, and we would never have to deal with them being juvenile delinquents, or joining gangs. That would be much better than at 24 weeks into the growth cycle. More informed decisions, more targeted.
I can argue against abortion if I so choose, and never once mention anything about religion, God, or sin. So don't go lumping all people of religion into the anti abortion camp, and don't go lumping all people who oppose abortion into the religious camp.
