Synagogue Sues Florida Over Abortion Ban for Violating Religious Freedoms
Newsweek ^ | 6/15/22 | Shira Li Bartov

Posted on 06/17/2022 8:15:34 PM PDT by marshmallow

A Florida synagogue has cited religious freedoms in its lawsuit over the state's new abortion law.

The act signed by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis on April 14 bans abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy, without exemptions for cases of rape, incest and human trafficking. Previously, Florida allowed abortions until 24 weeks. The new law is slated to take effect on July 1.

DeSantis signed the law at a church in Kissimmee, Florida. Although 74 percent of white evangelical Protestants say that abortion should be illegal in all or most cases, six in 10 Americans believe it should be legal, according to the Pew Research Center.

But Congregation L'Dor Va-Dor in Boynton Beach, Florida, has claimed in a lawsuit that Florida's 15-week abortion ban violates the religious freedom rights of Jews.

Abortion is their sacrament.

I seriously doubt that.

Show me in the torah where they got abortion rights from God.

I can show them things like child sacrifice were abominations.

The Jews have no claim to abortion being part of their religious rights. What a ridiculous statement.

Can satanists sue because they aren’t allowed to make human sacrifices?

Think of abortion as the 21st century Holocaust (which it is). Cannot believe how many Jews want to kill babies.

Some Jews approve of abortion and the violent removal of a fetus from the mother’s womb. True.

"Show me in the torah where they got abortion rights from God...."

Not only that, it's a violation of the Mitzvot to "Be fruitful and multiply" (Genesis 1:28)

Come to think of it, I have been told by religious Israeli Jews that the true religion of secular American Jews is liberalism.

I guess they will eventually realize that abortion is a sin . . . unless they have a come to Jesus and repent before it’s too late.

‘Abortion is their sacrament.” Not all. Many Jewish people regard Abortion as a Crime against humanity.
But, too many Americans of Jewish Heritage who are Jewish in Name Only are far-left liberals.
They, like many Catholic Liberals, and Protestant Liberals, use their familial religion as a Shield.
They have nothing in common whatsoever, with any resemblance to actual religious convictions. They simply USE their historical family backgrounds as a shield to try to deflect any criticism of their UnGodly positions.

The Catholic Church should sue the federal govt. for allowing and promotion abortion in the first place. Two can play this game.

I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

I started out being a complete judeophile. What happened in the holocaust is hideous. Then started to notice that they always seem to vote democrat. They may be the Chosen People. Chosen-to-be-stupid People.

Forgive me, conservative Jewish people.

Is it antisemitic then to call Jewish people baby murderers? I am sure someone on this site will accuse me of such.

Ironic because synagogues that that are the exclusive preserve of old crones. I’d be willing to bet there isn’t one paying female member of that congregation that isn’t past menopause.

I think that’s one of the reasons they ended up in Babylon.

So they are suing so that they can sacrifice their unborn children to Baal?
