Part Of A Conversation

Once, during a discussion about abortion, I said, "There is never any good reason for an abortion.  It might be best, in some cases, for the mother to give the baby up for adoption, but abortion is never the answer."

"The trouble with you," my friend [yes, we were friends, but we drifted apart] said, "is that you allow your religion to influence your thinking."

I looked right at her and responded, "Well, if it didn't influence my thinking, it wouldn't be much of a religion, would it?"
