If I want to terminate a pregnancy but it was Ilegal, would I have sinned because I really wanted a termination but could not through no self restraint of my own but that of government. Ignoreing non religious arguments, should the religious simply let sinners sin (advise or "molest" as I believe it says in King James but take no action) or activly stop then. If the only argument for abortion was religious then it has to by asked should we be free to brake spirtual law if it does not effect temporal law.
