Today, I’d make an argument that anti-abortion laws should be struck down as a violation of the First Amendment right to freedom of religion. And no, I’m not talking about The Satanic Temple. Other religious groups do not share the beliefs of the Catholic church and Protestant Evangelicals regarding life starting at conception, to say nothing of the millions of Americans who are not religious at all. I do think the case could be made that anti-abortion laws are fundamentally religious at the core and need striking down for that reason alone.

I’d go with the Thirteenth Amendment; I see an unwanted pregnancy as involuntary servitude. Having to put your internal organs to somebody else’s service… and at the end of gestation, there’s a reason they call it labor.
