A new report from The Associated Press details lawsuits across the U.S. that see pro-choice activists argue that abortion restrictions violate their religion.
Conservatives and free speech activists on Twitter railed against a recent viral depicting police interrogating and ultimately arresting a pro-life woman who was silently praying outside of a U.K. abortion clinic.against states with post-Roe v. Wade abortion restrictions, arguing that the new laws violate their religious freedom.
Courts in five separate states have issued rulings in cases related to abortion and religious freedom lawsuits since the Dobbs v. Jackson ruling in late June. There are currently 34 active lawsuits filed against 19 states’ abortion laws, according to a litigation tracker published by the Brennan Center for Justice and Center for Reproductive Rights.
In Indiana, the advocacy group Hoosier Jews for Choice, as well as the lawyers for five anonymous women of various religious backgrounds, including Jewish and Muslim, used this argument earlier this year. Separate lawsuits have also honed in on religion as the basis for their religion, asserting that the state is imposing a law on citizens who do not share the same beliefs, and is thus implementing their own religion.
