Claiming that a new state law that went into effect after the unethically-stacked Supreme Court revoked the right to an abortion, a group of Florida clergy are suing Republican Governor Ron DeSantis claiming that the trigger law violates their denominations’ religious freedoms, the Washington Post reports.
While many evangelical christians do not acknowledge other religions because they believe in the primacy of theirs, the US Constitution actually does protect the individual’s right to practice those religions, and in those religions, it is acceptable to seek an abortion because they believe life starts at birth, not while in the womb.
Seven different clergy members–two Christians, three Jews, one Unitarian Universalist and a Buddhist–filed separate lawsuits to overturn the Florida law, which bars abortion after 15 weeks unless the life of the mother is at risk or if the fetus has a fatal abnormality.
