OUTLAWING ABORTION VIOLATES THE SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE - An Integral Interpretation - BRAD REYNOLDS

Outlawing abortion in the United States of America is an outright assault on the separation of Church and State, one of the foundational freedoms of the US Constitution. Outlawing abortion is not only stripping a woman's—a mother's—right to choose what is best for herself and her potential baby, but it is allowing the State, the government, to crawl up inside a woman's uterus and determine what is best for the unborn child.
