hot take: bringing religion into the wider abortion discussion is counterproductive

Keyword: "Wider."

I say this as a Christian! I think religion does have a place in "localized" abortion discussions, i.e. in a group for that specific religion. However, movements advocating for specific laws and human rights should not be based in religion-- they should be based in humanitarianism.

People don't like being proselytized. Making religion the forefront of the movement is inaccurate and insincere. Conflating human rights with religion is a slippery slope if you also support freedom of religion.

Let's focus on saving lives and supporting families instead of pushing a religious agenda! Again, even I as a Christian can say this!
