Is Abortion a Religious Issue?

Many religious traditions have clear positions on the ethics of abortion. Abortion is not special in this respect: many religious traditions also have clear positions on a wide range of other ethical problems. Religious freedom would not be a good justification for killing infants, and it’s not a good justification for killing the preborn either. These problems are not strictly religious issues, they’re human rights issues too that anyone of any religious background should be concerned about.
