- Mark, I must disagree with you here. Being anti-abortion is not
- a Christian position, as abortion is not addressed in the Bible.
- Many, many Christian denominations are pro-choice.
-
- The anti-abortion position is a _political_ position adopted by
- people who happen to be Christian. It may or may not be part of
- a larger political movement with the aim of reducing women, once
- again, to second-class status in this country.
