Your move Supreme Court. Do you deny his first amendment rights or do you create a national exodus from Christianity to Judaism?

"You can't have a religious exemption for murder" - SCOTUS
allpinkeverything
I was hoping this would happen, Satanists organizations are suing elsewhere in the country as well. Sending so much support to everyone <3
Gryphonosiris
Silly Jew, 1st Amendment right only apply to certain Goyim.... I wish that was sarcasm.
Alpacaknight
They will deny him because he is not christian and therefore not worthy of consideration.
UprootedGrunt
This is where they rule that the freedom of religion means the freedom to practice any form of christianity you want.
HisBubbliness
Do you think we got to this point because of people in power respecting religions and beliefs other than their own?
danikashmanika
welp. time to convert to judaism
stronomer
Are you asking about the court dominated by christian religious fundamentalists?
Feralkyn
The Supreme Court only removed the Federal assurance to the right to abortion. The individual states' legislatures drafted the laws making
Feralkyn
abortion legal or illegal state-wide. This lawsuit will go to Florida's courts, so we'll have to see how that goes.
mrthewhitee
They'll just declare that there are "reasonable limits" to what religious practices are acceptable using honor killings as an example of bar
cptwott
another fine reason for the totalitarian christianism to put jews in camps. Wake the fuck up, people.

"It's the height of chutzpah for people to tell the Jewish people what the Bible means and lecture the Jewish people on the sanctity of life
UnluckyLunkhead
There is no separation between OUR church and OUR state.
Someshithead241
OUR church and YOUR state.
Feralkyn
Can you clarify what you mean with this?
StudioDerpster
I think they're saying christofacists mean "NOT YOURS, so you should gfy." Should be fun when the internecine conflicts begin.
StudioDerpster
They think catholics and fundie evangelicals can share a theocracy, lol.
UnluckyLunkhead
Only the superstition of the MAGAs counts and they think the state / USA belongs to them also.
Feralkyn
Gotcha, thanks!
drunkenm
The constitution exists when it suits their argument, when it doesn't meet what they want they ignore it, a lot.
Anautobiographyinstolenmemes
I think they're trying to kill off low income, d votes since covid ravaged r votes & are trying to level the playing field a bit.
Anautobiographyinstolenmemes
As wealthy people will have access to the option to live and everyone else will not

Good bless the Jews. All non-christians and atheists are rooting for you on this. Go get em!

I am reminded of Dan Simmons's book Hyperion and how he discussed the decline of Christianity. I think it may be accelerated->

to decline sharply before we develop interstellar travel
DreamingOfDistantShores
I have a list of people I would like to invite the Shrike to visit, in the meantime.
LincLoud
Too bad it cannot be so easily summoned. The Shrike is a mystery beyond the comprehension of humans.
DreamingOfDistantShores
Real talk, I read those from the library when I was like 13. Don't remember much, but even then I was real frickin' confused by the shrike.
DreamingOfDistantShores
Just... everything about it and how it functioned. The memory of that confusion has stuck with me. Also the cool pointy metal mental images.

Who had a Rabbi challenging reproductive laws for June or July 2022?
literallymike
This could set national precedent. You want to play the religion card? Let's get'em, Rab-bois!
catskhiker
Works for me...
Greenwaxy
False. “Precedent” as a concept went out the window when they overturned Roe. Court rulings are just another political football now.
LadyRex
Not sure, but definitely incorporating 'rab-bois' into my convos
NefariousGoop
We've seen how much SCOTUS cares about precedents
DrBios

nemesisx00
Exactly. We need laws not precedent...

"Stari decisis"is for suckers! Why be bound to previous decisions,even though there's no major changes in law/society? Aka:Rules4Thee,Not4Me
MADchemEE
Aka: I'll impose my will upon you, without regard for fairness, or law, using any metrics I can. Aka: fascism!
BlueCanaryInTheOutletByTheLightSwitch
They're definitely going to deny his First Amendment rights. It's not like they actually respect Jews, considering how many Nazis they have.
TheWombatStrikesAgain
"NOT discriminating minorities is not deeply rooted in history and tradition of the Unites States."
WhythehelldidImakethisaccount
You are correct. Reynolds vs US is case law
NotAHugeSpider
The only reason they even tolerate Jews is GQP's belief that Israel is necessary to kick off the literal Biblical Apocalypse.
Tumescentpie
The gop is America's nazi party at this point. Unfortunately the bulk of their followers are too stupid to understand this.
ChrisPinesface
Or possibly (but hopefully not) don't mind the parallels
Tumescentpie
There are a lot of them that understand the parallels, like everyone that went to unite the right. Also most of the talking heads understand
Txernobog
I think they like the parallels
MyCommentsUsuallyHaveTypos
I heard about this days after the Roe drop. Reproductive laws being challenged by The Satanic Temple AND a Rabbi.
penzick
I usually support TST but am disappointed by their case. Much more interested in the Rabbi both bc I think it will gain more public sympathy
penzick
& because when if fails (which I believe it will) I think there's a chance Jews will start to abandon the Rep party.
forreference
There are republican Jews?
Irbricksceo
There are, not many but they do exist. My grandma is one
penzick
Of course. Religious zealots mainly but still not a tiny number. I mean, there are LGBT Republicans, too, so it's no surprise.
MyCommentsUsuallyHaveTypos
*Cases. The Wisconsin one is weak, but the Texas one goes right to the religious rights nards.

Please tell me I'm wrong but here are my thoughts:

ElTee86
Please don’t post like this again. It’s painful to read.
nichfra
I don't understand how people can think that will work. Have you not noticed how often the right wing contradicts itself? They don't care.
BennyGaga
The temple of Satan has a similar suit and will likely merge with this subsequent lawsuit.
Randomified
I'm totally backing this guy but we shouldn't have to base our abortion rights on religion. If he wins, what about all non-jews?
RancidOrange
Check out the Satanic Temple
DanFendi
...and their continuing quest to lose every lawsuit they bring of this nature.
Fulmersbelly
In the article, he says it’s laying the groundwork for other religions or atheist groups. It’s using the framework to fight it
InDubiousBattle
This is what I wish anti-religious Imgurians understood. Religion isn't for everyone, but this as a groundwork could be helpful for others.
Vargau
Well what’s fucked up is the that SCOTUS it’s not forced to review all cases, they can just ignore most of them.
SaintSleepyWeasel
They need a lower court to rule in their favor first.
MajorasTerribleFate
If they refuse to take it, then it's effectively upheld in the lower court. Still a win.
WinstonChurchmountain
So you're saying we need to get the Satanic Temple to flood them with lawsuits against EVERY SINGLE STATE?
Deathcameawienering
Yes....flood the system
KidKarless
The next great flood
delpharseven
Exodus to Israel. Reasons vary, but they want all the Jews out.
DukeDarkwood
OK, but what if this prompts a surge in conversions to Judaism or other faiths?
delpharseven
Won't change anything. Remember that these people do not believe in democracy. They are okay with minority rule if the minority is them.
DukeDarkwood
Their stubbornness will never stop me from repeatedly maintaining that the world has progressed since the 1600s, and they are a dying breed.
DukeDarkwood
It's not for them, but for anyone listening. You fight lies with the truth, and never give up.
TheEmeraldProphylactic
Just a reminder that Jewish abortion rights are nothing to do with choice, but to do with life. The fetus is classed as a “pursuer”, which 1
TheEmeraldProphylactic
Relates to the “Rodef” law, which relates to a murderer and a victim. The extrapolations of this extend into areas of morality such as 2/
TheEmeraldProphylactic
Self-defence, mercy for criminals (or not), and a mother who’s life is threatened by their fetus. In this case, the baby must be killed. 3/
TheEmeraldProphylactic
In turn this has refined into an argument whereby mental and physical risks to the pregnant woman (and future child) are taken into account
TheEmeraldProphylactic
Thus allowing an interpretation of Jewish law that permits abortion. TL;DR It’s not about pro-choice, but about the value of existing life.
TheEmeraldProphylactic
Which is somewhat ironic, given that this is the Pro-Life argument for abortion that most of liberal society can see as patently obvious
nimdae
Many on the right are convinced Jews are the enemy so of course the response will be to squash their rights.

ArkoneAxon
Yep. It's been around for centuries. I'd say about 90% of the criticism of Israel is just modernized iterations. "They're killing babies!"
delpharseven
I would disagree on that. What Israel is doing to the Palestinians is objectively criminal.
ArkoneAxon
Thank you for demonstrating my point. I'd argue about it, but I really don't need to deal with another person oblivious to the entirety of>
ArkoneAxon
the history of the situation, pretending that the Palestinian Authority doesn't exist, and accusing the Israelis of "genocide."
