Who would have thought that Mike Pence would end up the Forrest Gump of American politics?

As a Hoosier I am always down to shit on Pence but his successor and current governor Holcumb signed the abortion law, not Pence.

If you take away IN’s (or any state’s legislature) statement that life begins at conception—which is a Christian belief—then doesn’t their anti-choice law fall apart?

It's about time we get SCOTUS to acknowledge other religious beliefs exist besides their own. I'm sick to death of Catholic men and Protestant men forcing their faiths into our private lives. The privilege of your religious beliefs ends at your front door.

It seems to me like this would justify a religious-freedom claim not just that Jewish women are entitled to abortions, but that Jewish doctors are entitled to perform abortions on anyone

Ooo, this is good. Why does it take these individuals to figure out how to fight back and not the Dems?

Best part of the decision is right here in the third footnote. The court apparently appreciates scientific accuracy, unlike most Indiana legislators.

As much as I love to shit on Mike Pence (and he definitely deserves it), he did not pass Indiana's abortion ban into law. That was his generic white Republican male successor, Eric Holcomb.

I expect there's soon gonna be a lot of cases like this, under a "You want to make funky rulings based on religious freedom laws? Sure, we'll try getting some, too."
