w/r/t whether the upcoming (more than likely) ban establishes an official religion, it absolutely privileges one religion (Evangelical Christianity) over others.

M.R. in Acton, MA, writes:… In Judaism, a fetus does not have the same personhood status as one who is already living and functioning in the world. The Talmud asserts that the fetus is “mere fluid” for the first 40 days and, following this period, the fetus is regarded as a physical part of the pregnant individual’s body.

In fact, up until and into the onset of labor and childbirth, if a fetus is endangering the life of a woman, performing an abortion is a religious requirement. The Mishnah (representing the first generation of Talmudic rabbis) states it graphically: “they cut up the fetus inside here and take it out limb by limb, because her life comes before its life.”

I believe the rabbis stated the issue in such grotesque terms on purpose. The horrifying image of an almost-born fetus being dismembered in the womb emphasizes the point: No matter how “late-term” the pregnancy, no matter how difficult it may be to proceed with an abortion, the woman’s life must always come first.

Legally requiring a woman to carry a life-threatening pregnancy to term is not only misogynist, it is an infringement on our religious freedom as Jews to exercise our Jewish values in such dire situations.

and no, that would not be the same as some religion claiming human sacrifice as a sacred rite
