Supreme Court Ruling November 25, 2020

Midnight Ruling Exposes Rifts at a Supreme Court Transformed by Trump

The justices issued six opinions, several of them unusually bitter, in upholding challenges from churches and synagogues to state pandemic restrictions on religious services.  (NYTimes)

Barry's Comment: 

If, as the Supreme Court ruled, the government cannot stop a religious gathering because of a perceived medical or health problem due to separation of church and state, then it should not be allowed to rule on abortion because the main reason for not performing an abortion  which motivates Pro Lifers is so the infant can be baptized, even at the risk of the mother's life. At base, Pro Life is a religious and not and an ethical or moral issue. It is an individual religious,  ethical and/or moral judgement whether or not to terminate a pregnancy and, since the constitution prohibits interference with religious practice the Supreme Court has no role in stopping or enabling it. Abortion cases should not be brought to court since it should have no jurisdiction in the matter. This is in keeping with the ruling cited above.
