Abortion is morally wrong

[Dystopia]

Portugal. Can you spell massive economic and financial crisis? Worse than us is only Greece.

Is religion as influential in politics as it is in the US? I remember you saying your prime minister was an atheist, any idea why so much of the population is against abortion?

Our former prime minister described himself as an agnostic, mostly to earn votes from both sides, but I'm pretty sure he was an atheist. Regardless we left us almost bankrupt and everybody hates it. Religion is as influential as in France or Italy, there is still a predominance of Christianity (about 70%, 80% in Italy) but it isn't as influential as in the US, we do not know our politicians' religious beliefs nor does anybody care, our constitution has the principle of secularism and the political rhetoric of using god as an argument is not valid. People are against it not exactly because of Christianity per se, but because a lot of old, middle aged people and so on still share some ultra conservative ideologies from fascism back in 1974, the common person will think as abortion = Murder and is incapable of thinking about it deeper, regardless of personal religion. I don't hear people saying they are against abortion and gay marriage because of god, but mainly because it's 'murder' (Abortion) and 'disgusting and unnatural' (gay marriage). At least I can say we have successfully created an atheist association some years ago.
