And state action vs. state non-action. When it comes to individual rights/liberties, I side with less intrusive action from the state.

You condemn abortion but you support the individual's right to practice it. That is why I say it is an enigma that a Christian would take such a stance. I guess we can consider someone that questions that logic as introducing a strawman.

I have zero problem with the state being as intrusive as they want if it saves innocent lives. I suppose that is where we differ.

I can find nothing in scripture that would lead me to put anyone's individual right/liberty above killing their innocent child. There are some OT passages that address combat. I can find scripture in both the old and new they allows the government the right to yield the sword.
