Didn't every abortion measure up for a vote pass last night? Maybe its just time you realize most people in this country have left your ignorant absurd view on abortion behind.
With all due respect, calling another's views or beliefs "ignorant" or "absurd" is a huge reason why we are where we are today as a country.
It's an emotional issue on both sides for many reasons. Pro-lifers being dismissive of a woman's trauma or situation in life makes many on the other side of the issue not want to listen to them because of a perceived lack of compassion. On the other hand, because many pro-lifers consider abortion to be actual murder, nothing to them is a valid reason to have an abortion.
It isn't something the two sides are likely to ever see eye-to-eye on. Both have valid points. It's not the actual divide in opinions that's causing all the strife, it's that neither side respects the other's position.
Recommendation: provide a history of the methods women used to both prevent and terminate pregnancies prior to modern medicine. There's a lot there you didn't address, and failing to do so does a disservice in understanding the issue as it relates to women.
"There’s a long history of birth control, as a manner of population control, guided genetic husbandry a.k.a. eugenics, and dealing with what the progenitors of certain unborn children considered mistakes. In ancient days, men would use animal skins to prevent conception. It wasn’t a very effective method."
You started addressing the history of birth control mainly from the male perspective, without actually going into what *women* would do to prevent or terminate pregnancy, or the reasons they'd be doing so: what's the point of this paragraph if not to provide an historical basis to then talk about a particular Christian branch's beliefs on the matter ('cause there is no one overarching "Church" - agreed)?
There is no overarching church and there is no overarching set of principles except as defined by the Constitution. The states regulate medical matters just as they regulate auto insurance.

After 40 years of being called a baby killer I don't care. It is backward and ignorant.

How is that relevant to the issue of the church’s stance on abortion?
