The Supreme Court said Wednesday it will consider whether to restrict access to a widely used abortion drug — even in states where the procedure is still allowed.

The case concerns the drug mifepristone that — when coupled with another drug — is one of the most common abortion methods in the United States.

The decision means the conservative-leaning court will again wade into the abortion debate after overturning Roe v. Wade last year, altering the landscape of abortion rights nationwide and triggering more than half the states to outlaw or severely restrict the procedure.

    Abortion is a woman’s god-given right.

    Why has no one argued that rules against abortion infringe on religious liberty? The Bible contains directions for a priest to perform an abortion. In any case, someone could simply claim the law stops them from practicing their chosen faith.

        Also ironically (given the current state of christianity) the Satanic church is the only church that is actually accepting of all people and whose love for all people is unconditional. (Yes I do belong myself). I guess I’m a bit prejudiced. But - not against my fellow man at all.

            I know, it sounds weird to say, “hey there fellow Satanist!” I just call myself a BAP (born again Pagan) because “pagan” I think is more palatable to people than “satanist,” they think we run around with knives trying to stab nuns and orphans.

      I think some groups have, I know there are religions where abortion is very much a human right and they are trying to sue their state goverments, but it won’t do any good. We are in the grip of fascism, people - and that can’t be overcome by law suits.

      Because it’s a dumb line of argument. No one in the process should give a fuck what any religious texts say one way or another and it’s not a can of worms that should be opened just because it might be convenient in this case.
