They finally got around to what we have been saying for years -- making abortion illegal is imposing their religion on us. This is very short.
--Kim
The Indiana ruling is part of a growing multi-state legal strategy in which Jewish, Unitarian, Buddhist, Episcopal, and other faith plaintiffs are challenging abortion bans in Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, Utah, Wyoming, and Florida on the grounds that those bans impose a narrow Christian doctrinal view of when life begins onto citizens of all faiths — a direct violation of both state and federal church-state principles. Missouri’s abortion ban explicitly declares that “Almighty God is the author of life,” language that one dissenting Missouri legislator described at the time of passage as itself a violation of the separation of church and state. During the original Dobbs oral arguments, Justice Sonia Sotomayor put the question directly to Mississippi’s counsel: “How is your interest anything but a religious view?” — a question that received no coherent answer and now forms the philosophical backbone of this emerging litigation strategy.
