Florida synagogue sues over Florida’s new 15-week abortion ban
Miami Herald ^

Posted on 06/16/2022 5:38:55 AM PDT by aaron_burgle

A South Florida Jewish congregation has challenged a new state law that blocks abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy, contending the measure violates privacy and religious-freedom rights.

The lawsuit, filed Friday in Leon County circuit court by Congregation L’Dor Va-Dor, seeks to block the law from taking effect July 1. Abortion clinics also filed a lawsuit this month in Leon County challenging the constitutionality of the restriction.

Both cases include allegations that the law, signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis in April, violates a privacy right in the Florida Constitution that has long played a pivotal role in abortion cases in the state. But the lawsuit filed Friday by the Boynton Beach congregation also contends that the law violates religious-freedom rights.

“For Jews, all life is precious and thus the decision to bring new life into the world is not taken lightly or determined by state fiat,” the lawsuit said. “In Jewish law, abortion is required if necessary to protect the health, mental or physical well-being of the woman, or for many other reasons not permitted under the act [the new law]. As such, the act prohibits Jewish women from practicing their faith free of government intrusion and thus violates their privacy rights and religious freedom.”

Religious freedom rights argument from a Jewish synagogue? What, is Baal angry that the number is going to go down? Because I don’t think Jehovah is on their side of this argument.

What part of ‘Thou shalt not kill’ that kill don’t understand? Are God’s laws not important to them?

Correction.... What part of ‘Thou shalt not kill’ do they not understand? Are God’s laws not important to them?

Don’t know if it’s true or not but I have read that about half of American Jews describe themselves as atheists. Of course that helps explain why 90% of them vote Rat.

What a disgrace. I hope the congregation shows their disgust. Abstain, contraception, very early termination, adoption.

Maybe they’ll be OK with this idea: Ban abortions for everyone except Jews.

Ya think it will sink in at that point?

Not too stoked about support for Israel anymore. Jews seem to be playing a big part in America’s destruction.

Go read about this synagogue. Leftist rabbi with a ‘social justice’ mission. Reform Judaism isn’t real Judaism and reform Jews aren’t real Jews.

If your rabbi can be a fat dyke, it isn’t Judaism.

Imagine being a people chosen by God for nearly 6000 years, and you have survived so much turmoil and death by His Grace to this day...

... and you reward Him by murdering your own children in your mothers' wombs?!?!

Does Our Father have a face left after almost 6000 years of facepalming?!?!

Khazarian Mafia, worshipers of baal and moloch. Child sacrifice is their offering...

This group is about as Jewish as a bacon and cheese sandwich on white bread served at the Passover.

Correct.

That lady is about as much a Rabbi as I am the Pope.

Our Bible study is working through Jeremiah right now....it’s all over the place. The idea of child sacrifice is not from God.

“and have built the high places of Baal to burn their sons in the fire as burnt offerings to Baal, which I did not command or decree, nor did it come into my mind—”
