Jewish synagogue sues the state of Florida over new abortion law, and on religious grounds. I doubt this gets solved anytime soon. We shall see how the "totally repressed and endangered Xtions" handle this.

Goes against the establishment clause of the 1st Amendment. All these Originalists are frauds and liars.

I read the article. I'm not, nor ever was Jewish, but I doubt that anything in the Hebrew Torah says anything about abortion, so I think the suit is baseless.

@Alienbeing Still. Six Catholic justices decide "establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" Theocracy not democracy

@Alienbeing the Babble (OT)defines life as "beginning at the first breath", and in another area sets the monetary compensation due by someone who inadvertently causes a miscarriage.
Are you saying the OT is not a Jewish authority?

@AnneWimsey No, I did not even imply the OT was not a Jewish (Hebrew) authority. I said I doubted the Torah addressed the issue.

Based on the two examples you just provided, I'd say the Torah contradicts itself. If, as is quoted, there no life until first breath, then why should there be liability for miscarriage of something "lifeless"?

I suspect that is not the only contradiction in the Babble.
