Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Although I believe every life is so important and should be given a chance, if a woman was raped and became pregnant I would understand if they wanted an abortion. I would hope that somehow they would find a way to get through the absolute evil that was done to them and give that baby life but that’s a hard thing to ask of someone and I would completely understand and be fine with that.

What should be the relationship between the church and the state?
