No, Ana Navarro, the Principle of Separation of Church and State Does Not Justify Abortion

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : As Professor Paul R. DeHart explains: The jurisdictional separation of church and state effected by the First Amendment allows people to vote for religious reasons, to make religious arguments in order to persuade others to support particular candidates or policies, and allows political officials and legislators to act for religious reasons."
50% : The Catholic Church, whose teachings rely not only on Scripture and Tradition, but also on reason and the natural law similarly states: "Given the scientific fact that a human life begins at conception, the only moral norm needed to understand the Church's opposition to abortion is the principle that each and every human life has inherent dignity, and thus must be treated with the respect due to a human person."
41% : After all, leftists advocate for what they call the "fundamental human right to abortion" with what looks a lot like indefatigable religious zeal.
39% : Ana Navarro, the Principle of Separation of Church and State Does Not Justify AbortionAna Navarro, a co-host of 'The View,' recently opined that she would not personally decide to kill her unborn child by abortion because of her Catholic upbringing, but she also believes the principle of separation of church and state prohibits her from imposing that view on others.
39% : Direct abortion, that is to say, abortion willed either as an end or a means, is gravely contrary to the moral law."
37% : Her comment sadly reveals she understands neither Catholic teaching on the intrinsic evil of abortion nor the principle of separation of church and state as it applies to our system of government.
35% : While a person's religion can and should guide his or her thinking on abortion, all people, religious or not, can conclude that abortion is morally wrong through science and reason alone -- as plenty of people do.
