Obama: pro choice only because women are prayerful

"The reason that I have make a decision to support the choice position, is not because I dont think its a moral issue, but because I trust women to make a prayerful decision about this issue."

Obama made this statement to the 700 Club on November 9th (see link above for video). What about women that are not prayerful - should they not have a right to make medical decicisons with their doctor because they do not take part in a religious activity? Should there be a religious/spiritual test one must pass in order to make their own medical decisions?

This one really bothers me, Obama stated it is "The Reason" he is pro-choice - can't support that because all women, no matter what they believe should be able to make decisions about their body - because its a human right and a privacy right - not because someone trusts your going to pray about it.
