Thread:Comments:Women reveal accounts of forced abortion in Scientology/Comments from feedback form - "Great article...would love to ..."/reply (7)

At the risk of attracting a hail of bullets from McNeil, I'll say it's not religion itself I have a problem with. It's the way people like to try and force it upon you (and each other). In particular, some people force babies and young children to be members of their chosen religion. That's not your bloody choice. Wait until the kid's old enough to decide. If yes, then fine. Don't expect me to take much interest, I certainly won't actively approve - but I will defend his or her right to do such.

Were it my responsibility, then yes, religious discrimmination would in most cases face increased sentencing powers - but equally, doing such things to your children as baptism etc when they can't possibly understand the concepts behind it would also be an offence.
