It's not the Christian Republic of America, so why is it those who are religious can hold the bodies of secular women and of other religions hostage?

I see the abortion debate as a religious minority forcing their views on an entire country and I don't feel that's right.

I’m going to get so much hate for this but go a head.
Putting limits on abortion is not necessarily a bad thing. I’ve seen and lived the struggle a premature birth is so I know the burdens of having child are. However, there has to be morals in society because otherwise it falls apart! So I think it’s a great compromise if abortion must exist that limitations should be put on it. If the unborn child can survive with medical assistance and feel pain the human thing to do is carry it to birth. This time period I believe is 21 weeks. Now I am also all for making adoption less expensive and more available to individuals who want to be parents. (Which is a little off topic) it’s not ending safe abortions for women who have to make that difficult decisions it’s a human regulation for a moral standard.
As far as religious beliefs I was raised Catholic however found my path in Norse paganism.

@Ozuye502 Basically nobody is arguing for unrestricted late term abortion, so there aren't really any conflicts there.
@Ozuye502 What you propose is basically what we have now under [i]Roe[/i].
