Just to chime in here.

I'm open to entertaining arguments suggesting that abortion should be illegal with the following caveats.

That the law allow for exceptions (i.e., rape victims, health problems, etc.)

And that the argument in no way, shape or form fall back upon the Christian faith, as basing any law on any one religion is bigotry. Defending one's stance with remarks like "Oh, the bible says..." (not that anyone has done that here thus far) isn't going to mean a whole lot to any non-Christian. All this results in is being offensive and disrespectful.

With that said, I'd be interested in hearing why abortion should not be permitted - and, as said above, WHO exactly is going to be imposing these laws. It's a little too convenient that there has never been a single woman throughout history to create such a law. Always it is men telling women what can be done with their bodies. It will be a cold day in Hell before a board of women decide what men can do with their bodies, regardless of what the law is or how important it may or may not be. Moreover, it wasn't all that long ago when white people were telling black people what they can and cannot do. Imagine if you said "Oh, but the bible says black people should sit in the back of the bus and not drink from out water fountains". Serious, keep religion out of it. It has no place in this argument.

So if women start telling women what they can do with their bodies (within reason), I'll not say another word.
