The belief that life in the womb is deserving of protection isn't necessarily a Christian one (it is common to many religions and I know several pro-life atheists), and to a large swath of people by allowing abortion you are forcing your morality on a human being (the aborted). The distinction between life worthy of protection and life not worthy of protection is a subjective moral one.
That's why it is a decision best left to our nation's deliberative body and neither the president nor the courts.
Torturing prisoners at Guantanamo also does no harm to any Americans.
