6. Politicaly I'm Pro-Choice.
The committee you speak of is political. Abotrion, for any reason, is a decision based upon religious beliefs (or lack thereof), and have no place in a political document or group.

I think that's where we all get into trouble. There are some who believe so strongly that their religious beliefs are the only correct ones, they try to insert them into politics....therby crossing the live between Church/State separation.

I am a Catholic, and would never have an abortion for any reason, but I should not be able to tell any other women that they cannot. I can put a lot of other subjects under this same rule. I don't believe in the death penalty, divorce, adultery, pre-marriage sex. I have no right to tell everyone else they have to abide by my beliefs.....they have not right to do it either.
