Why won't people who oppose abortion discuss the religious element?

I'm confident in my performance on the thread.

 

[PostmodernProphet]

I don't think Jesus ever mentioned abortion, and if you ask the actual authors of the Old Testament - the Jews - they don't seem to believe their religious texts mandate a total ban on abortion.

based on the teachings of a medieval rabbi who believed science proved the unborn fetus was merely "water".......

yes. their opposition to baby murder is dogmatic and tribalistic.

woops. i meant to say their SUPPORT of baby murders is theocratic, dogmatic, tribalist and irrational.

 

[Into the Night]

I am NOT saying or suggesting that everyone who opposes abortion does so on religious grounds...nor am I saying or suggesting that some atheists and agnostics DO NOT oppose abortion...

...but I am saying that without a doubt, religious convictions play the single most energized opposition to a woman's choice to terminate a pregnancy occurring in her own body if she chooses.

I just wonder, considering that to be so, why opponents to abortion do not discuss that religious aspect.

Any ideas why that is...ANYONE?

Either side of the question itself...WHY NOT?

It's not her own body. Human life being terminated is not hers.

Now you want a religious argument?

Jesus Christ does not condone murder for convenience.
