I have no respect for the right-to-life position. But when you legislate personal belief, you're in violation of freedom of religion. The Catholic Church may espouse its opinion on abortion to the members of its congregation. But they are in violation of separation of church and state when they try to proselytize their abortion politics on people who are not Catholics.

John IrvingI grew up in a family where, through my teenage years, I was expected to go to church on Sunday. It wasn't terribly painful.
