But as an American, do you believe that your beliefs are somehow more important than someone else who does not think that?

I personally don't think I would ever choose to have an abortion (unless it were life or death, since I already have a child & would choose to stay here for him), but it is absolutely none of my business what the person 2 streets over chooses to do - that's between them, their family, and their beliefs.

It is 100% possible to be Christian and not choose abortion for yourself, yet still support that in this country, a woman should have the right to make that decision.

As a human I believe that my position on abortion as murder is based on a higher morality than someone who supports it possesses. Based on your logic I should have the right to kill anyone who gets in my way or causes me some inconvenience.

As for the bold part, no. If you can't see the moral inconsistency in that, well there's your problem. It's like being against the death penalty while being the one springing the trap door on a convicted person just because it is legal to hang someone. If you're against it you have a moral obligation to stand against it. A Christian should take the 10 Commandments to heart and one of those is Thou Shalt Not Kill.
