Out of curiosity, why do you think the religious argument is 'obviously ridiculous'? Because of the idea that life begins at conception, or because of the notion that they would use their religious beliefs as a factor when deciding something that affects others? I don't think it is ridiculous to fight against something that you feels violates your morals. At any rate, its one of the better motivations to oppose a law, rather than seeking profit or influence.
