And came to the realization that being against abortions, wanting every fertilized egg or zygote to be incubated to birth is based solely on religion.

There is no scientific evidence, no provable fact, that using modern medicine, pills or a facility to intentionally end a pregnancy will create or cause any problems. Yeah, it's a decision a woman has to make sometimes. But a decision that really only affects the woman and her family. There is no intrinsic value to forcing women to incubate every zygote to birth.

It's just the ignorance of certain religions being forced onto nonbelievers and codified into law.

Just another atrocity we can lay at the feet of religion.
