Personhood

There are pro-choice Protestant denominations like the United Church of Christ.

The apostle Paul claimed the risen Jesus told him three times, "...my grace is sufficient for thee..." and some Christians take these words as a license to do as they please, ignoring the rest of the moral instructions Paul gives throughout his epistles.

Thus we see pro-life Christians react to secular scientific data and ethical arguments on animal sentience, environmental arguments, etc. merely by repeating a word or phrase three times, thinking their religion exempts them from secular arguments.

**Can pro-choice Christians do likewise with the unborn?**

The federal government imposes a fine upon anyone destroying a fertilized bald eagle egg.

Can pro-choicers dismiss the argument with three times, "Bald eagle eggs, Bald eagle eggs, Bald eagle eggs...." ?

Can pro-choicers dismiss the argument with a snide, "Thank you *so* much!" ?

Or do secular arguments (like fertilized bald eagle eggs) overrule unprovable religious beliefs in favor of killing?

**If secular arguments overrule religion when it comes to protecting the unborn, why isn't it the case when it comes to protecting animals?!**

If pro-life Christians think their religion exempts them from having to protect animals, aren't pro-choice Christians similarly exempt from having to protect the unborn?

Or do secular arguments overrule religion?
