I completely agree with you. :) Maybe you can give me some perspective on something I have been wondering about. If the people who object to abortion on religious grounds believe in an all knowing all powerful god. Then why would god put a soul into a fetus that was not going to be born or if they did why would they not move that soul into another fetus that was going to be born... Also if god is a believer in free will which I think most people say god is why would they want to take the choice to act on their free will away from women? It would be interesting to hear your feedback on this. :)

Honestly I've got nothing. I don't know that I'd thought of the soul issue that specifically, but I do sort of assume that the individual, or soul, gets moved.

My brother honestly believes many innocent lives are lost to abortion, and he wants a pro-life candidate because of that, and it is because of his faith. I don't get it.

My general impression is that this branch of Christianity basically considers free will the chance to prove that you will follow all the rules even though you don't have to, so one should behave like one did not have free will. I'm suspect that's not how the group would describe it, but that's the best I could come up with.
