Seriously. Keep your religion out of my uterus and out of my life. Thanks.

"I know of at least 5 pro life women Christian women who have had abortions"
Sounds like half a story.
I'm confident the rest of their stories are something like "regret over this decision changed their lives", but we won't hear that part, will we?
Opposing abortion isn't a religious matter, if for no other reason than religions which uniformly condemn abortion agree on little else.
Those who support abortion would have us believe religious fundamentalists are attempting to end abortion and require people to attend weekly Bible study.
This is a straw man and is the most common argument for abortion.
Well, it's not really an argument for abortion as much as it is an argument against arguing against abortion.
See, everyone, to include the most sincere of abortion advocates, knows an abortion kills a living being which can only be a person.
Whether God exists or not, each of us has the tiny amount of reason required to understand that a fetus and a baby are the exact same thing.
The amount of time a fetus has spent developing after conception has no bearing on its status as a person because it has never been anything other than a person.
This is obvious because no other event takes place from conception until natural death during which the fundamental nature of this organism changes.
DNA doesn't wait until the middle of the second trimester to form.
The sex of the baby isn't on hold for twenty-one weeks.
Growth, as marked by cell division, begins on day one of the pregnancy.
All of this is ignored by people who understand abortion kills a baby.
Their reasons for supporting abortion are unrelated to obvious facts.
Slogans like "right to choose" are used to gloss over the reality of ending someone else's life.
Nothing is now taking place in the Western World which hasn't taken place throughout man's history.
Helpless, often conquered, people are declared non-persons by a state entity.
Slavery and murder are then justified because the victims are officially not human.
It's tremendously convenient for those who would prefer to not be bothered with the fundamental God-given rights of others.
I would even go so far as to say the power associated with having the legal authority to kill a specific class of individuals has an intoxicating effect.
With that, the rationalizations excusing what is arguably the most inhuman act imaginable meets precious little scrutiny.
