absolutely no role in any choices our leaders make. Unfortunately we're a long way from seeing that in reality.

Especially when it comes to abortion. What part of separation of church and state do people not understand?

who think they have the high moral ground based on faith. They don't until they find a way to take care of all the unwanted and neglected born children in the world and all the millions of "unborn" they want to save. They would be on higher ground if they spent as much effort supporting family planning and contraception for everyone as they do in passing laws to restrict abortion.
