Abortion and same sex marriage are perhaps the top two political issues that are most entwined with religion. I'm going to examine abortion and it's religious roots.According to one ABC News Poll in 2001, "Religious beliefs" are reported as the main opinion forming influence for 43% of those who oppose legal abortion in the U.S. The debate basically stems from the fact that Christians believe that God sanctifies every human life at conception and that aborting a fetus is killing a human. The Catholic Church, in particular, is quite outspoken against it and has policy of denying politicians who are pro-choice the communion.
