A second Indiana judge on Friday blocked the state from enforcing its law banning most abortions after Jewish, Muslim and other non-Christian women challenged it in a lawsuit.

Marion County Superior Court Judge Heather Welch issued a preliminary injunction against the Republican-backed law, which prohibits abortions with limited exceptions for rape, incest, lethal fetal abnormalities or a serious health risk to the mother. The plaintiffs have argued that the measure infringes on religious freedom protected by another state law.

Indiana became the first state to pass a new law banning abortion after the U.S. Supreme Court in June overturned its landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that had legalized the procedure nationwide. Other Republican-led states quickly began enforcing older bans.

Good. More states should do this.. evangelicals haven’t cornered the market on religious freedom.. and for some religions freedom means being allowed to make choices.. as god intended it… or he wouldn’t have given you a brain.

Atheist is non religious so how can they have a religious right ?

When two religious ideals clash over a particular point of view, how do we decide which opinion makes better public policy? Asking for a friend

Nice plot twist

Love this article.

TURN THE TABLES ON 'EM!!!

Meaning religious people can't rape other people with their religions!

The government is 30 Trillion dollars in debt, inflation is nearing double digits, an international war in Urkrain, energy crisis, Diesel is at an all-time high,... and our government decides to fight over something that shouldn't even be a governmental issue.

Its unbelievable, the lengths people will go to to murder babies

Who’s their ‘god’? Molech?
