I personally do not think that any successful politician would publicly link any rights only to specific religious groups. They might fight for abortion rights in NYS but it would be political suicide to fight for Jewish (or Anglican etc) abortion rights.jcrawford wrote:I wonder whether secular Spitzer, Silver and Green still want to fight for Jewish abortion rights in NYS.
Nope. Unless the Supreme Court overturns RvW, which they might, the US Constitution trumps the state constitutions.Looks like the fight is going back to the states.
If Spitzer and Green don't want to fight for the secular right of atheists and reformed Jews to perform unwanted abortions on Roman Catholic women in NYS, without their fully informed consent, then they may not be too successful in running against Catholic politicians like Suozzi, Faso and Cuomo.McCulloch wrote:I personally do not think that any successful politician would publicly link any rights only to specific religious groups.

Wow jcrawford looks like you have a hard choice in the upcoming elections since you have stated before that you are a protestant your choices seem to be either a couple of jews or a couple of papists. Kinda reminds me of the JFK presidential election. Which are you more concerned about, the jews or the notion that the catholics will follow papal writ unquestioningly?jcrawford wrote:If Spitzer and Green don't want to fight for the secular right of atheists and reformed Jews to perform unwanted abortions on Roman Catholic women in NYS, without their fully informed consent, then they may not be too successful in running against Catholic politicians like Suozzi, Faso and Cuomo.

How do you think Roman Catholic women feel about your views on who controls their reproductive functions?abort Roman Catholic women without the expressed religious consent from the Roman Catholic parents or the Roman Catholic Community.
Depends how Roman Catholics in general feel about atheistic and feminist doctors controlling and keeping the Roman Catholic population down.juliod wrote:How do you think Roman Catholic women feel about your views on who controls their reproductive functions?abort Roman Catholic women without the expressed religious consent from the Roman Catholic parents or the Roman Catholic Community.

How can a person be both secular and a jew at the same time? Kinda sad for a while there I was hoping you weren't something so pathetic as an antisemite.I'm more concerned about secular Jews like Spitzer, Silver, Schuman, Green and Bloomberg supporting abortion rights for secular Jewish doctors to abort Roman Catholic women without the expressed religious consent from the Roman Catholic parents or the Roman Catholic Community.

Maybe because there were no Roman Catholic abortionists available, they have all been excommunicated by the Pope. Maybe because she trusts the medical skill of the professional and that is more important to her than the doctor's religious affiliation. Maybe because her religion is no longer important to her (hence seeking an abortion) and she no longer believes that religious affiliation confers medical or ethical merit.jcrawford wrote:Why would a Roman Catholic woman religiously consent to go to a Jewish abortionist or vice versa, if they were fully informed of their rights?
