I used to reason similarly, but this argument just doesn't work for me anymore. If you hold that people can't impose their beliefs on others even in cases of abortion, in which another person's life is being ended, how do you justify punishing someone for murder when they believe murder is morally admissible? I'm all for freedom ('Murica and all that), but I can't see a justification for it when maintaining one person's freedom infringes on another's fundamental rights (e.g. life). But I'm still pro-choice because I don't think abortion is murder.I don't think, especially under the US Constitution, you should be able to impose your belief system on other people.
