Subject: RE: BS: Religious beliefs - no standing in law
I don't agree with laws that prohibit abortion; but in all fairness, I have to suspect that the Polish anti-abortion laws were enacted by the Polish legislature, and not by Ronald Reagan or John Paul II. And I have to suspect that the members of the legislature are adults who voted for these laws, did so of their own free will; and not under the control of Reagan or the Pope.
I think the mind-control exercised by religion is vastly overrated. It happens, but it is far from universal. Most people really aren't that stupid.
