Christian Abortion Hypocracy
The major argument that I hear from the Christian anti-abortion zealots is that abortion is wrong because it is killing an innocent person. In fact, for many Christians, the killing of an innocent person is so immoral that abortion supercedes all other issues.

Many Christians also support the death penalty. I have even seen them use scripture, on Christian boards, to justify their belief in the practice. Yet, as the Innocence Project has clearly shown, innocent people have received death sentences. Now, it is debatable whether a fetus is actually a "person", but not a death row inmate. Yet, many Christian capital punishment supporters will argue that the number of exonerations relative to the number of inmates awaiting execution is sufficiently small to warrant the occasional killing of an innocent as an acceptable risk.

Is it possible that there is another reason that most Christians despise abortion?

1. yes.
**Is it possible that there is another reason that most Christians despise abortion?**

Because it takes away one of the shame factors to keep women from having sex for enjoyment.

2. Yes
You'll notice the rightwing Christians don't mind bombing brown pregnant women, or their children.

3. God said that sex should repulse.
God said that sex should repulse
unless it leads to results.
And so we crowd the world
full of consenting adults. - Leonard Bernstein

4. They don't care about life they just want to dictate
how everyone else lives their life.
