Since when is the church involved in such things, except to damn them and

Unfortunately for the Bible thumpers, that also applies to private persons who
thus have a right to determine what happens to _their_ body. The churches think
_they_ have that right, like the absolute monarchs of yore. But they're finding
fewer and fewer people who agree.

True, but the interpretations are often divergent.
