Yes, every religion can be shown to have its hypocrisy, but this insistence that abortions cannot be performed according to the choice of the woman who is pregnant, is only prevalent in radical Christianity, and radical Islam. Not all Christian sects are against abortion, and not all Muslim countries forbid it. But those at the mercy of the radical preachers of both religions, are pawns, imo. To them I would say, You simply don't have the right, or the authority, to control my life. Go get perfect, first, and then we'll talk, but no butting in line.:-) The more moderate sects of both Christianity and Islam understand this. It is only the radical elements of both of these religions who insist on this complete invasion of personal choice. I would also say that anyone who takes a hard line on any subject has not been in that particular situation (in this case, been faced with the "tragic" and difficult decision to have a living 'lump of cells' sucked or cut out of one's womb). Just like the many times when pro-gun advocates suddenly change their tune when their family member has been shot or killed while standing at line at McDonalds or walking down the street. You want to see previously quiet people suddenly become vocal about driving while under the influence? Have a good friend or family member killed by a drunk driver. Suddenly, miraculously one can switch positions/attitudes very quickly.
