Generally because the command against killing (aka murder) is a religious one and abortion is viewed as killing an unborn child. Also, directions for the whole marriage/pregnancy/raising children is covered in the Bible, thus religious. It is normally the PRO-abortionists that claim it has nothing to do with religion. They want you to consider it a medical procedure similar to removing a wart.

Well, let's just get it out in the open then: Is it a religious issue or not?
If so, I don't recall Jesus saying anything about abortion. If it's an old testament thing, I can quote plenty of scripture that says that not only is abortion approved by God himself, he actually *demands* it in certain instances. I make it a habit to not quote scripture on the internets unless asked. I assume you good folks know the passages I'm referring to.
Anyway, before we get into some debate about which passages in the bible may be ignored and which must be followed (thus establishing our own moral relativism), ponder this: Why are Rev's Sharpton and Jackson not allowed to practice the same moral relativism when they disagree with you? What makes them any less pious?
I spend alot of time arguing with others over politics. I would not dare question another man's faith because I disagree with his position.
YMMV.
Also, if it is a religious thing I'm so sorry but you just forfeited the battlefield, constitutionally speaking. The BoR protects the rest of us from those of you who would force your religious morality upon the rest of us through the government.

Are thier any black folks reading his post who have recieved a check from Jackson or Sharpton yet?
I was just wondering cause it looks like they live pretty good.
It's people like them who keep the true form of racial tension alive and working for them.
Also, how much has all the sueing cost America?

What they practice is EXTORTION. They will show up at some large company, say Coca-Cola, inform them that they are doing (insert your favorite victimization here) wrong in regards to blacks, threaten a boycott, receive a large donation to their "church" or .org and quietly move to the next victim.
P.S. You'd make a better argument about civil rights having nothing to do with "religion" vs. abortion & religion.
They have done some good in their lives but overall I have little use for them. I don't appreciate either of them claiming they represent the black population.Are thier any black folks reading his post who have recieved a check from Jackson or Sharpton yet?

Thanks for all the replies. I try to ask people I work with about J.J. and A.S. and it seems to be a pretty touchy subject. Abortion is wrong anyway you look at it. You dont have to be religous to know that killing a un-born child is wrong and yet these guys support it. I feel sorry for these false leaders and their followers. My preacher once said," You can know every fish in the pond but if ya dont know god ya gonna bust hell wide open!"
