Greg,
I did not say that the sin issue is a legitimate concern of our government, but I believe that it is among the driving concerns of the "radical fundamentalist" anti-abortionists. It comes from fear and from an overly literal interpretation of the Bible, IMO. I do think that abortion is murder, regardless of what the government thinks about it.
But that does not give me the right or duty to go out and punish offenders.
