Jews and Muslims to the rescue.
In Indiana, of all places.
The ACLU is bringing a suit against Indiana's regressive, sadistic abortion ban based on the fact that it infringes on the religious rights of anyone who doesn't subscribe to the fantasy that life begins at dinner the night before. Jewish people, for instance, don't believe the fetus has a soul until it draws its first independent breath. We prioritize the life of the pregnant person above the life of the fetus for the entirety of the pregnancy, including in situations that put the pregnant person's emotional health at risk. With the imposition of the GOP's fetus-fetish laws all over the nation, however, Jews and others whose religions don't subscribe to the ideology of these nutters are fighting fire with fire.
