On this forum, it seems like a lot of people equate (or at the very least, assume) someone who is pro-life with being against gay marriage and visa-versa. I'm wondering...why?
There are purely secular reasons to be pro-life. If there are secular reasons to be against gay marriage, I'm not aware of them. Random example; 'Abortion is/is equatable to murder and/or one person should not have unilateral control over the lives of three separate people' compared to 'Gay people shouldn't be allowed to marry because my religion says that [legal] marriage is between a man and a woman'.
So why do so many people act like they're closely entwined? My assumption was that people who are pro-choice/for gay marriage consider both human rights issues and so group them together based on that, buuuut assumptions are bad. Hence the question, for clarification.
