Slaughtering a cow for beef stops a heart, too.  The question is, is it a human
heart?  The pro-abortion folk would have us believe that the heart is not that
of a human.  That humanity is tied to being born.  Ultimately, this is a line
no less or more arbitrary than the line of conception, and so it seems that the
only reasonable way to get someone to switch demarkations is to get them to
recognize that God drew our line, and to recognize that God is an indiidual who
deserves to be listened to on such matters.  Thereore, it IS a religious issue.
