Chill mate, Christianity doesn't do 'control'..
"Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, watching over them, not because you must, but because you are willing...eager to serve; not lording it over those entrusted to you.." (2 Cor 2:17,1 Peter 5:2-3)

Very few Christians in the public eye have ever let what Jesus did or didn't say stop them from offering their judgement. Jesus never said a word about abortion, did he? Still, his followers insist on trying to control the bodies of others.
1- True Christians give money away, not rake it in..
"..we do not peddle the word of God for profit...(2 Cor 2:17)
2- Christians have no beef with abortions if continuing the pregnancy would carry a serious health risk to the mother, or if scans show the baby would be born severely hadicapped physically or mentally.
