For nearly 40 years, the issue of abortion has been a political football framed in a religious quagmire until it became a third rail of politics.

And, although I am a Christian, and my faith certainly helps frame the debate for me, I also acknowledge there are many of you who do not share the same worldview.

Regardless of one’s worldview, however, every accepted scientific and legal definition points to personhood and a logical conclusion that abortion is murder. You don’t need a single line of scripture to get there, either.
