This entire issue revolves around a christian belief in the quickening of an embryo, and the reach for power by a fundementally religious administration.I cannot, and will not be the judge of the laws of the church, but it should not be allowed to hold me to its laws if I am not of the faith.

This is what we disagree on: whether the unborn child is worthy of the same protection that, say, a one-year-old is. If so, then it certainly
is the government's business, just like child abuse is the government's business, even though it only affects the mother, the child, and the immediate family.
And I've never used Christian dogma when talking about criminalizing abortion. Kindly take down that strawperson.
But to get back to the point of the post: If you intended to show that pro-lifers are inherently intolerant, you failed.
