The ban against abortion in most societies, including Islamic, predates “Political Christian Fundamentalist and Evangelicals”. It was based on natural law principles and the longstanding abhorrence of civilized people of the killing of the unborn.

Our current situation is not the result of a democratic process leading to a consensus, it is a judicially enacted Constitutional amendment that ran roughshod over the democratic process and has led to an intractable impasse, the direct result of short-circuiting our system of government.

In the event that a democratic consensus passes a Constitutional amendment banning abortion, it won’t be relevant whether the people supporting it are members of any religion or no religion, it will be just as valid as the Eighteenth Amendment was.

People can bring any darned beliefs they wish to the debate, and their votes will count just the same no matter what they believe.
