Will the Supreme Court Allow Jews Religious Freedom

The Trump appointees to the Supreme Court strike me as cocky know-it-alls with limited intellectual chops and little real-life experience. They do not seem to fear the possibility they will be impaled on their own swords. 

Coming toward the Supreme Court is a case perfect for sorting out religious rights when abortion is involved. The woman is a Jew. She was pregnant with a fetus that had 90% chance of being still born.  At best, a brief life would be followed by certain death. She had an abortion allowed under a previous Indianna law. 

Now, Indianna has passed a more restrictive law. At the same time it passed a stronger religious liberty law. The couple would like to have another child but the odds are one in thirty the fetus will show the same abnormality. Her Jewish faith states clearly that human life begins at birth. She is demanding the Court allow her the religious freedom to deal with another bad fetus as her religion instructs her.

Prominent Methodist columnist, Mark Silk, predicts the court will limit religious freedom to that practiced by Christians and limit what is practiced by other religions. They will not, he thinks, allow abortion to fall under any religious liberty ruling.  Unfortunately, probably he is right. This Supreme Court would see all religions but their own as fake.

A typical Christian judicial response would be, "You do not have standing because you are not pregnant. Get yourself pregnant then come back to the court. It may take a year or two for us to give you a decision but we'll get to it eventually. By then, of course, you will have had the baby so we'll tell you again you don't have standing."

The courts had a similar Christian position on gay marriage. For years, courts denied the economic benefits of marriage to gay people. They said the benefits were reserved to couples who were legally married. They supported laws denying legal gay marriages. What games Christians do play.

It took a very long time, but laws against discrimination of black people and gay people were eventually straightened out. I am confident women will see to it laws against them will be shown the door.
