Once again abortion is in the news in America at a sufficient level to cross the Atlantic into the European media. At the heart of the issue is the freedom of individuals to choose what they believe in, and what they do with their lives. The problem comes when the beliefs and the actions clash. If both occur in the same person they cause torment. If they occur in different people this causes discord, which can go on to become hatred and unrest.
One solution is the religious state, where the law of the faith and the law of the land are the same thing. Another is the secular state where all are free under the law of the land to practice their faith without imposing its strictures on others of a different persuasion. In these states the law of the land is paramount. Sometimes concessions are made. It is the law but not if your beliefs disagree. At the margin, this may not matter although it is a very bad principle. It is against the law everywhere to kill and eat people and nobody suggests that some people professing a faith in cannibalism should be allowed to practice it.
The overriding principle must be that all religious disciplines function within the law of the land, wherever they are practiced. In enlightened countries these include human rights laws and those outlawing discrimination on the grounds of race, colour, gender or sexual orientation. This should apply to marriage in the priesthood, woman priests, gay bishops, genital mutilation, polygamy, forced marriage and so on. Yet this is not always the case. Exceptions are made, allowing faith adherents to break the law because the believe in something different. This is wrong.
It is also wrong of abortion. If it is allowed under the law, subject to appropriate conditions, it must be against the law to deny it. That is what law is and what laws are for. They pull a diverse society together in common protection rather than allow the hazard of everyone for themselves. Americans should know this better than any people on earth.
