Demons: Indiana Judge Grants an Injunction Blocking Enforcement of State Law Against Abortion, Claiming That There Is a Religious Right to Kill Babies

Abortion is a sacrament to the left. That's not just an insult anymore, that's now judge-made law.

In Indiana, a Marion County Superior Court judge issued a permanent injunction March 5 blocking enforcement of Indiana's abortion ban on the outrageous claim that there is a so-called religious right to kill babies in abortions.

The judge blocked the ban for a certified class of people who claim killing a baby in an abortion is an exercise of their religious beliefs.

The ruling is prompting sharp criticism from pro-life advocates, who called the decision a perversion of religious freedom protections.

Judge Christina R. Klineman ruled that the state's 2022 abortion law violates Indiana's Religious Freedom Restoration Act by substantially burdening the religious exercise of the plaintiffs. The class includes members of Hoosier Jews for Choice and others whose beliefs hold that a woman's mental or physical health takes precedence over the right to life of an unborn child. Never mind that abortions have been linked for decades to depression, suicide and adverse mental health problems.

"The state's Religious Freedom Restoration Act bars a law that substantially interferes with class members' religious beliefs that a pregnant person's mental or physical health takes precedence over that of a zygote, embryo, or fetus," Klineman wrote.

The state did not show it had a compelling interest justifying protecting babies from certain death, she claimed.

The judge further stated: "The abortion law would allow a plaintiff to seek an abortion if her pregnancy were the result of rape, but not if it were mandated by her religious beliefs. The state has not justified this differential treatment by establishing that its interest in the same prenatal life changes based upon the reason for terminating a pregnancy."

Planned Parenthood, which is for some reason ailing financially after an end to federal funding for abortion -- which is very surprising to me, because Planned Parenthood told me for years that their main business was giving pap smears and screening for ovarian cancer -- has a new grift to generate money: Botox injections.

This is from 2024, but it's getting re-posted: Feminist idiot "professor" says that marriage promotes white supremacy.

And also, heteropatriarchal supremacy.

But you already knew that one.

The institution of marriage "fundamentalism" reinforces White supremacy, according to an academic paper released by George Mason University professor Bethany Letiecq.

Letiecq's paper claims Americans have become accustomed to marriage fundamentalism in order to achieve "benefits, rights and protections."

Marriage fundamentalism, like structural racism, is a key structuring element of White heteropatriarchal supremacy," the paper reads.

Letiecq begins the piece by noting "as a White, cisgender woman, I am currently living with my partner and co-raising our children in a committed heterosexual union outside the institution of marriage." She continues, noting the origins of both White supremacy and marriage before explaining how each became favored by religious conservatives.

"Proponents of marriage fundamentalism include conservative, Christian, and right-wing organizations, such as the Heritage Foundation, the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), and the Family Research Council which recently gained tax exempt status as a church," Letiecq wrote.

Marriage fundamentalism, the scholar claims, has roots in Manifest Destiny and colonialism, leading to the "delegitimization of diverse family and kinship structures." Due to the amount of non-traditional living arrangements of LGBT families and "grandparents rearing their grandchildren," the nuclear family is actually the least common living situation in the country, the scholar said.
