People like Mastriano (who was probably raised a Catholic) and the new "Christians" and their ilk justify their stance on abortion and birth control by biblical scriptures, as if the Constitution had no bearing on our laws, but the Bible has no place in our democracy, at least it didn't use to. Therefore those standard arguments don't apply. These people are not governed by secular laws. They think we live in a theocracy. they run their lives by the Old Testament, which isn't even Christian, although that's what they call themselves. By their standard, Joseph would have probably killed his wife when he found out she was pregnant! This country has lost it's way, not to mention its system of public education, as if we were taught by rabbis and theologians.
