If abortion is upheld as a religious right for these people, then wouldn’t child sacrifice also have to be upheld as a religious right for Satanists? After all, it’s not whether the human being exterminated actually HAS sanctity that matters, it’s just whether a person’s religion views their extermination as either allowable or required.

Every argument these people use for abortion can also be used for child sacrifice up to any age.

Not murdering children violates “religious freedom”?

That would have to be - since this ruling says not allowing elective abortions violates “exercise of religion.”

As the mother of 5 children, all of my children were alive long before the first breath. This is a scientific fact, not religious speculation.

When I miscarried two of them, they died in utero. They had to be alive in utero, with heartbeats and souls, in order to die.

The only difference between the 3 that are living and the 2 that are gone is that they did not survive to be born. They were human beings, loved and wanted. They were not clumps of cells.

These women, with their twisted logic, are ghouls.

Nasty Jewish seculars lie incessantly about Jewish tradition and abortion. They have no Jewish traditional authorities who buy their bilge.

They just lie.

Repeat: They have no one fit to make tea for the greatest American rabbis like Joseph B. Soloveitchik, Moshe Feinstein, Avigdor Miller, et al, much less the most famous exponents of Jewish law from the past.

I guess Ann Coulter was right when she said liberals consider abortion one of their sacraments.

And they're supposed to be the people who support "the science" and they're quoting Bible verses in support of their position.

Haven't they heard of pre-natal surgery?

My heart goes out to you. I also have lost 2 children in the womb - one at 12 weeks and the other at 42 weeks.

Ironically for those who claim that breathing makes a child a person, my daughter who died at 42 weeks may have died because she breathed in meconium.

Scripturally speaking, God says that the life of a creature is in its blood, not in its breath.

Ultimately, only the One who created human life has the right to take it back, and even with all the test-tube baby stuff, a human cannot make a baby. Only God can cause a sperm and ovum to unite in such a way to create a child.

This case stands to set really, really bad precedent because it allows any individual’s belief about another person’s sanctity to determine whether they may kill that person. According to the legal logic of this, as long as I believe that my religion says I can slaughter somebody I can, even if the laws recognize the sanctity of that person’s life. This would give wholesale authority for any Muslim to kill any non-Muslim because the Quran requires such killing.

The only way out of this kind of argument is to acknowledge what the 14th Amendment actually intended to say: that all biological humans have Constitutional protection.

Satanists like to murder and sacrifice people. That is part of there religion. So I guess we have to let them.

I donโ€™t think it would be a stretch with this ruling to understand that we DO have a state sponsored religion and it is deeply financed and taught in our public schools. How about parents start suing school boards and their districts over that? Anti-religion is just religion still.

“Two of the plaintiffs, an anonymous Jewish same-sex couple,”

Oh great wise judge, please explain to me how a same sex couple has a right to an abortion. Are they planning to have a surrogate get knocked up and have the abortion?

Is she also saying atheists have no right to an abortion?

This is beyond words stupid.

an anonymous Jewish same-sex couple,

How are they even part of the conversation?
What “standing” could they possibly have?

What a ridiculous ruling.

They unique individuals, separate of the mother’s tissue. These people apparently have never heard of DNA. Their argument is sick and flawed.

My succinct argument against abortion is easy to remember.

From conception on these things have been proven convincingly:

1.) The cell(s), blastocyst, embryo, fetus, baby, is alive.

2.) It is human.

3.) It is a distinct human genotypically and phenotypically (immunologically) from mother and father.

4.) Though vulnerable it will, if cared for normally as the law requires, develop into an independent, sentient adult.

5.) Because of the above facts, it (he or she if you prefer) may not, at any time in this continuum, be deprived of life without due process (a trial or some other judgment), according to the Fifth Amendment.

If abortion restriction violates their religious freedom, this is an admission that their religion requires it.

Indeed, it is a sacrament of the cult of death worship which is the religion of the Democratic Party and globalists everywhere.

At it’s heart, despite myself being a pro-life person, there is something to be said for the ruling - our conscience, our deep beliefs are, like religion, our own. The deep problem with the idea is how far can it be allowed to go. Soviety does draw the lines somewhere.
