My copy of the Bible says killing is a sin.
I believe the Bible says murdering is a sin. There is a difference.

Well, if you want to get all technical... it's "hou shalt not kill."
More importantly, it's:
- Love God unreservedly.
- Love your neighbor as yourself.
I happen to think it's killing and therefore a sin. However, is it a legitimate aim of government to wipe out all forms of sin, according to all religions? And, if abortion is to be controlled, what other aspects of control over one's own body will the government take? At what point does abortion cease to be a sin and become legitimate self-preservation?
There is a huge gray area here. Government can butt out.

Well, if you want to get technical I guess it depends on your version of the Bible. E-Sword -- a fantastic freeware bible program with loads of different Bibles, concordances, commentaries, maps -- gives the following interpretations of several different Bibles I have installed.
Deuteronomy 5:17
(ASV) Thou shalt not kill.
(BBE) Do not put anyone to death without cause.
(CEV) Do not murder.
(DRB) Thou shalt not kill.
(ESV) "'You shall not murder.
(GNB) " 'Do not commit murder.
(GW) "Never murder.
(HCSB) Do not murder.
(JPS) Thou shalt not murder.
(KJV+) Thou shalt not kill.
(LITV) You shall not commit murder.
(MKJV) You shall not kill.
(MSG) No murder.
(RV) Thou shalt do no murder.
(WEB) "You shall not murder.
(Webster) Thou shalt not kill.
(YLT) `Thou dost not murder.

No, but many right-wingers are, it seems. Admittedly, some are just evil selfish bastards, and aren't idiots at all...
If you're not among the wealthy elite, and you're for Bush... You're probably an idiot.
