Yeah, I think this is broadly the problem. What needs to be enshrined in law, especially on issues like this, is tolerance. I understand people who feel a moral objection to abortion. I just don't think they should be able to dictate, on purely moralistic grounds, how other people get to live their lives.

But if it's that abortion should be illegal in all cases because "my friend in the sky says so" that's a different matter.
