Yes... Honestly, even though I'm a conservative, in cases of rape (especially when the victim is 13-17, i.e., under aged) abortion should be allowed.
The nation itself is 50% Christian, so christian values and morals are forced into legislation despite separation of church and state
Wrong.
The constitution never mentions "seperation of church and state".
It says "freedom of religion".
Legally, the government could decide to give each christian church 10,000$ a year of fudning tomorrow, and charge every mosque 25000$ to pay for it, and it would be legal.
Also, Chrtistian values ARE NOT FORCED INTO LEGISLATION. You would have to be retarded and know nothing about current politic policies to think that.
Also, 50% of americans are not christian.
If you count only those who actually follow the New Testament as Christians (not gonna go to the OT), then the number just dropped to probably about 5% (optimistically).
