Now I have to think about Laws being based on morality. I am not so sure that is a fact.

I used to think I was pro-choice because GOD told me to be pro-Choice through my interpretation of bible verses. Katz has my head spinning with a different point of view that I am thinking about. Even VG in another post talked about Germans killing Jews by the law. Ya can't argue with that logic. So lets see now, I agree with Katz, I agree with you and I agree with Villagegolfer who all appear to be pro-Life, yet I am pro-Choice. I don't know if I have the ability to think in such a complex way. Anyway, it all comes back to my simple minded feeling of who or what gives one individual the right to tell a women she is doing wrong or committing murder when having an abortion. Ro Vs Wade was passed in the US Courts under the watch full eye of the all knowing GOD. Maybe GOD is saying that is an issue left up to the individual. Now I am dizzy again. Wait a minute, it just dawned on me what Richie said in another post. Something to the effect that he is not going to make the decision for anyone, just wants them to think about it by pointing out is opinion. I see Eric Robert Rudolph or Scott Roeder when I think of Pro-Life advocates. Since I am sure in my heart that Richie is not an extremist, I will try my best not to group folks on here with the pro-life stance with extremists like them to nuts. Now, I will do some syferin and figurin on this topic.
Nice thoughts. I'll just add for a little clarification of my "morality" point, that most laws that govern interactions can be seen as an extrapolation of the "Do unto others as you would have done unto you" admonitions of Christianity and most other religions.
