The Catholic Church, for example, will swear up and down that their anti-choice goal has nothing to do with punishing women. It's all about respect for life, and any hardship enacting their policy brings upon women is unfortunate, but is nothing compared to the greater evil of abortion.

What I wrote above, about an individual sin as opposed to the nation being in sin, that's a reason every anti-choice sect of Christianity will agree on, though they won't actually say it's because of fear of God's wrath. That would be selfish and obeying God only from fear, and God sees right through that ploy.

No, to avoid God's wrath you have avoid it for unselfish reasons, hence the respect for the sacredness of life, and the hysterical love of Operation Rescue and others for the fetus. Warn the sinner of God's wrath, but don't admit you fear it yourself, because God is Love.
