Personally, I would rather pray to Batman before Jesus or Allah. Why? Because nobody in the name of Batman ever bombed anybody or persecuted gays or other minorities. Plus he's got a bitchin' utility belt. And shark repellent spray!


I understand that, what I'm asking is what about the so called freedom of religion that was being debated here? If that's a constitutional right, then how one religion could pass laws that would restrict another, or those who even don't practice any religion for that matter at all? Making abortion illegal is a Christian agenda, isn't it?


It may be part of the Christain agenda. However, in America religion only finds its way into statutory law through statute making bodies. Religions do not possess statutory law-making ability. The members of those bodies may be influenced by an infinite number of variables including their religion. However, being an atheist, if I were ever a member of a statute-making governing body, I would seek to eliminate abortion except when the mother's life would be endangered, per medical opinion, by giving birth.
