religion. Not hers. Why doesn't the pregnant woman have a right to follow her religion? If God is all seeing, all knowing, He would have known the woman would have an abortion, so He would not have placed a soul in the zygote. I believe that religion used to say that God did not place the soul into the body until birth. So they are not only forcing their religion on others, but it is a new changed religion.
