That's a fun twist.

until then it is just another part of a woman.

According to a 2017 Pew survey, 83% of American Jews believe that abortion should be legal in all or most cases. All the non-Orthodox movements have statements supporting reproductive rights, and even ultra-Orthodox leaders have resisted anti-abortion measures that do not allow religious exceptions.

This is a good read:

Yeah, & so is algae.

Pregnancy tissue at nine weeks.


These do not have a heartbeat.

I look at it now as a lost cause. The suburbs were originally the white flight people who wanted to be away from those "OTHER" people. They formed their own schools and churches and because they were in their own little bubble they all ended up thinking alike.

They were a hell of a lot smarter than some of the current breed or RW nutjobs. They knew that if you allowed them (religion/state) to become intertwined then both would be weakened.

in Philadelphia to steal everything they could get their hands on.

"It's a Christian nation! Those other religions are baby killers!"

Hopefully it won't have that much impact this time...

I wanted to say, and so the religious wars start, but they've been there all the time. Now the gloves will come off.

on abortion is. .

Or the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, or Pastafarianism??

It's right there in 'seven fundamental tenets,' equivalent of the 10 Commandments:

That Hobby Lobby decision should be filed under "Be careful what you wish for"

It is my greatest hope that every other religion in each state of our union will follow suit with more lawsuits.

Hoisted on their own petard, I would say.

This is not the only lawsuit going forward, and I very much hope we see similar results in the others. Candles lit. Fingers crossed.

The plaintiffs argued that their religious doctrine teaches that a fetus is part of a woman’s body, not an independent being with its own rights. The abortion ban, then, violates their religious freedom to decide whether to have an abortion. This argument, which undergirds similar religious freedom lawsuits across the country, including in Kentucky, Missouri and Florida, is a profound pushback against the Christian right’s attempts to assert their position, that life begins at conception and that a fetus is a person, as the only genuine religious belief.

a belief that alcohol blends with the evil in your body and is flushed down the toilet. Does this mean my bar tab is tax exempt?

But the completely corrupt Republican Conservative exposes itself as anything but. They'll grab that pendulum with both fists to prevent a healthy democracy from thriving..

As reassuring as this decision is, having to rely on actual good judgement is harder than ever. They realized how the natural wisdom achieved with age was against their recently discovered primary principles of hating women and immigrants. So they found the most corrupt justices, who lied under oath and make up the majority on the SCOTUS. And there are many more like them - stunted would-be intellectuals - waiting in the wings.

And somebody else's god speaks.

My pregnancy bills were not getting paid. The company did not cover pregnancy. They forced me into a different plan with less benefit when I became pregnant. The two plans couldn't decide who should pay what bill. Before the birth, was I one person, or two? It was a god awful cluster.

They believe the fetus is part of the mother and not yet a separate entity.
Making abortion illegal would be like telling a person they aren't allowed to have their appendix removed. Or teeth pulled without due reason emanating from the govt.

The Supremes and the anti abortion religiously insane chose their Christian religion's dogma to enforce as law.

But then ignored the fact that not everyone in the US are their kind of religion. Lots of societies and religions don't view an embryo or fetus as people with special rights to use a woman's body.

This sort of argument was bound to come up. I wonder how the Supremes will respond.
