No beliefs are being forced on anyone by allowing either of those things to remain legal.
They most certainly can be, depending on the person. You are basically forcing your belief that it should be legal throughout the country. Again, for the record - I agree with you here.
The main point I was getting at is that forcing your beliefs on others can be a good thing sometimes, especially if it moves society forward.
There is most certainly no such thing as government funded abortion so get some facts straight.
Planned Parenthood is a thing where I am from.

Marriage equality and abortion are most certainly still relevant topics considering the supreme Court vacancies. The chance that either respective decision could be overturned is not non zero if the court is filled with enough conservative leaning judges.
Relevant, maybe I will give you that. Definitely isn't pressing though and it will get a ton of negative whiplash if both are revoked. My point about this is that there are other more alarming issues that should be considered before considering the issues that effect certain people. The issues that effect the whole nation should be of more concern then the issues that effect certain sects should be a concern. You can't pick a few points and just stand behind a candidate while ignoring the rest of their ideas.

This is what I was talking about. People who don't live with discrimination don't see it as a worthy issue. And you wonder why not much stock is put into the arguments of someone who things "it hurts woman and gays" isn't a good enough reason not to discriminate.
A fire seems less distressing when you are not the one in the burning building, right? I get that mentality but it doesn't take someone in the burning building to realize that the burning building is a problem. People will often making their personal issues bigger problems then what they are. People with understanding that look from the outside will often have more objective views.
