Assuming Christianity or any religion is held to be sacred, there is no way to reconcile theory from fact, embrace the theory, and then ignore the fact. To do so is completely illogical and operates as a premise of religious illusion.

The pro-choice and anti-choice debate is squarely rooted within that theory where the ideal is not reality. If religion mandates two parents, society doesn't condone one. Where there are so many children born to one parent, exceptions to religion must be made because of society's unwillingness to reconcile the fact from the fiction.

A fetus aborted is not murder in that the person aborting recognizes the fallacy of bearing a child into a society that condones only two parents, and poorly tolerates only one.

To allow society to parse religion into parts that permit individuals to uphold the prohibition against murder but ignore that which commands two parents is at best hypocritical, and at worst, blasphemy.

This asks the child of the unwed parent as well as the child, itself, to bear the burden of irresponsibility as society dictates, both of whom have the same needs as two parent families but are forced to do otherwise.

The alternative is to create two societies - one of the unwed, and one of the wed - with different rules for both.
