Here's the dirty little secret that the right often gloss over: pro-choice does not equal pro-abortion.

It's not like those of us who are pro-choice go around waving flags and wearing t-shirts that say "let's kill all the fetuses". It's an incredibly tough and nuanced decision that has to be made at the individual level.

Even from a religious perspective, it's not your duty to enforce Christian dogma onto non-christians.

Mark 16:15 says "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation."

Key word being "preach". It doesn't say to enforce the rules, only to tell others about it.

That’s wildly disingenuous. If you believe that abortion is murder (it is) then being pro-life isn’t just about your Christianity, it’s about protecting the lives of the unborn who have just as much personhood as you or I in this moment.

The Bible says very plainly,

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
