Is abortion a religious issue? Is abortion a state issue? Is abortion a personal issue?

Peoples opinions on abortion are shaped by moral principles, but restriction of abortion through the law is purely secular law and within state police power
Speak for yourself. I dont argue abortion from a moral standpoint. Morality is subjective and cannot be legislated anyway. There's sumply no rational or legal reason to restrict abortion.
 
does a religion focus on life/soul ?

an unborn human life is exactly that - how can it now be tied together ?

No such thing as a soul. That's religious nonsense. Life is irrelevant and just an emotionally manipulative buzz word. The unborn are simply not legal persons with rights.
 
Peoples opinions on abortion are shaped by moral principles....

With this, you are correct. But it is the perversion of other people's morality where it all falls apart. Both Democrats and Republicans will agree and take a moral shared position against abortion, but it is also a moral position to allow an individual their decision. This is where Republicans pervert the Democrat position and reduce their position to simply being "baby murderers."

With this, you are not correct. Because it is the Red States that have vastly banned abortion at the state governing level. Why is that? Republicans have done this because they are basing their State government decision upon the idea of their Christian base, which has long given their allegiance to the Party, based on this abortion crap. Texas, for example, implicitly and explicitly subscribes to a Christian notion that human life begins at conception in its legislation. Now, this Texas legislation came with full support from Conservative Christian groups, as Liberal Christian groups admonished it.

So, to pretend that this is a "purely secular law" across the Red States, who pander to the right-wing religious base, is like declaring that the latest law in Iran's religious government is secular.
 
No religion forbids abortion. The Christian religion just doesn't read their holy book, because they're too busy waving it around.

Genesis 2:7 and Numbers 5:11-31
The Roman Catholic religion forbids it, calls it a mortal sin. Some of its clergy wanted to forbid Biden from the sacraments because he wasn't preaching against it, never mind that he never had an abortion

So rape is only wrong because of subjective opinion?

Secular law refers to the fact the law is equal to all regardless of religious belief and does not compel religious practice.
 
The rapist might not think it's wrong.
They know it’s wrong.
It also means religion cannot be the basis of secular law.
The basis is the law was passed by the legitimate civil authority for whatever reason, but once it’s in the law books it’s secular law.
 
They know it’s wrong.
How do you know? Maybe some do, maybe some don't?

The basis of law is the Constitution, a secular document in itself.

No, virtually no criminal laws are mentioned in the constitution. Treason is the only crime mentioned directly in the constitution

The Constitution doesn't need to specify laws. It is the basis of law. Laws are passed around it.

Nothing like the state police, policing abortion. Are women criminals?
