The court has no constitutional authority to nullify rights as explained in The Federalist #84 and indicated by the Ninth Amendment.

Jesus never mentioned abortion. Not once. If it was so important, he would have. BTW, Genesis 2:7 says this, He “breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and it was then that the man became a living being.”

Jesus isn't relevant to this discussion. Besides god killed a lot of innocents, babies, animals, adults who did nothing wrong, etc. God also had the Israelites kills babies, etc. Besides, that "breath" thing in Jewish tradition occurs at the first breath of a delivered baby.

Jesus is irrelevant to the discussion. Women have inherent, equal rights. You conservatives ae the enemy to our liberal, inclusive society.

Women have the inherent right to control their lives that includes abortion until the fetus' brain develops the capacity for consciousness, at which point it becomes a being and thus has rights. Until then the fetus is a mere object with no legal standing except as the property of the woman.

No. It is moral universalism, it applies to all beings. Religion is moral relativism.

LOL! Until the fetus becomes a being, it is an object. It becomes a baby when it becomes a being when its brain develops the capacity for mind. Therefore, it is universal. Religion is moral relativism by definition.

No. The fetus is an object until it becomes a being, at the capacity for sentience. Beings have mind, objects do not. While it is an object, the woman has authority over it and an interest in it as she chooses.
