Do you agree with male infant circumcision or baptism, even though those are done against the infant's will? Do you agree with teaching children only your version of the truth according to your religion, even though that is going against their will to choose for themselves what they wish to believe?
How can you be against abortion if you do other things that disrespect the rights of infants/children?
I see your point, but nothing you have listed is nearly as dramatic as killing the fetus. I agree with those things, as it is in the Bible. And I will of course teach my son the things that I believe are right. Would you not do the same? Will your children not grow up believing in what you believe in? Won't they grow up believing in no God? The subject of debate here is not whether or not I will choose to teach my son the truths of God, because that is a given. As it is a given that all parents teach their children what they believe is right. Will I force it on my son? No, I won't make my son do anything he doesn't want to do. But I will have him baptised, should he want that, and he will grow up in a faith filled home.
