The opposition to abortion comes from some religious groups, but the First Amendment guarantees that each individual has the right to choose his or her beliefs and that the government has no right to interfere with this choice. The First Amendment also guarantees the right to privacy. If an individual has a belief that abortion is wrong, she has a right to not have one. The same is true for people who do not share this belief and may want to have one. Many people do not embrace the belief that there is something wrong with having an abortion, and have a right to be free of another person's beliefs. The 14th Amendment provides for all of us to have equal protection under the law.The First Amendment and the Fourteenth Amendment for starters. Why do you want to use the the government to establish a state religion when we all have the the right to choose our religious beliefs for ourselves? Moreover, the right to privacy is long established in case law. I would not think that a person whose "sincerely held beliefs" were against abortion would have one.
I'm sort of a bottom line sort of guy, so please, point out where abortion is covered in either the First or Fourteenth Amendment.
Religion has nothing, whatsoever, to do with Roe v Wade. Thank you!
We pursue our own beliefs here.
We all have a right to our choice of beliefs. We all have a right to personal autonomy. Has anyone ever forced anyone else to have an abortion against their beliefs? If so, she should call the police.
It's not beliefs, it's justification for murder.
