i think it is kind of strange how pro-life became inherently christian. like is there no one outside of christianity that believes in pro-life?

There are non religious people or other religions, but pro-life movement in the United States is intricately linked with Christianity. It started out with just the Catholics being staunchly anti-abortion for religious reasons. But in the 70s the Republican strategically got the evangelical denominations to begin teaching anti-abortion theology.

I’m not positive but I imagine at least the other Abrahamic religions have a similar stance

Being religious and not religious both require faith. Just a diff kind. Ppl who aren’t religious have quite the faith in the entire universe just randomly existing

And just like there’s varying teachings within Christian denominations, other religions can have different beliefs that influence it. Like I believe in Judaism it is traditionally believed that the first breath is when a baby gets a soul (I’m not Jewish feel free to correct me)

Plenty of non-religious people simply accept that they can’t possibly know whether or not the universe randomly exists
