Here is the problem when you say keep religion out of politics.. it assume a postion is only supported by a religious reason and not a rational reason.. that is a logical fallacy.......most all religions prohibit murder.. but does that mean prohibiting murder is the goverment taking a religious position?...

It is valid to strip away the religious overlay on any given position .. but once you do you still have to honest enough to examine the position on it own reason..the reason for prohibition on abortion and gay marriage stand on their own without religion just as prohibition on murder does... if your intellectually honest
