You are 100% correct on this point. I commend you. To sin or not is a personal, individual choice; it is not something foistered upon us.
That's "foisted"--I amend you.
Foistered might be a useful word, though--a blend of foisted and cloistered: the imposition of narrow-mindedness upon the open-minded...
To label something a sin or not is a personal, individual choice, based on nothing but the subjective embrace of one myth or another from among many, each in conflict with the others, none with any evidence for its special claims to Truth.
Most Americans--and most people--do not support a total ban on abortion. By what right should an extreme minority position be imposed on others?
Those who proclaim abortion to be wrong, yet "avail themselves" abortions are modern-day Pharisees. Their lack of a moral back-bone and insincere proclamations puts them squarely amongst the other murderers.
What brand of perfection keeps you from amongst the Pharisees? Do you claim to be a modern-day marvel, free of all hypocrisy? Already your sanctimony reeks in your own God's nostrils.
Who owns the whole rainy, stony earth? Death.
Who owns all of space? Death.
Who is stronger than hope? Death.
Who is stronger than the will? Death.
Stronger than love? Death.
Stronger than life? Death.
But who is stronger than Death?
Me, evidently.
Pass, Crow.
Ted Hughes, from "Examination at the Womb-Door"
