I am the father of two strong Democratic daughters. The Alito draft opinion scares the shit out of me and offends me. I am a member of a Reform congregation and I understand the Reform Jewish position on abortion. The life of the fetus is considered potential life and the life of the mother takes precedence over the life of the fetus. I am glad to see some branches of the Christian faith has similar views on abortion

Various streams of Judaism interpret Jewish law differently. Reform Judaism, of which Nathan is an adherent, supports abortion rights.

In response to her sermon, Nathan received a standing ovation, she said, along with angry reactions from “a few people who were upset” that she addressed abortion access from the pulpit. But Nathan saw speaking up as part of her rabbinical responsibility, she said.....

More than a half-dozen major religions and denominations support abortion rights with few or some limits — Conservative and Reform Judaism, the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), the Unitarian Universalist Church and the United Church of Christ, among others — but many leaders of those faiths and religion experts say their positions are often not well-known......

The Rev. Angela Williams, a pastor ordained in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), which has supported abortion rights since 1970, is the lead organizer of the Spiritual Alliance of Communities for Reproductive Dignity, or SACReD, an initiative that trains interfaith leaders in how to support reproductive justice through their congregations.

In addition to a large number of Jews, there are a good number of other faiths that support abortion rights. Alito's draft favors one branch of christianity over the beliefs of a number of their religions

2. Thank you so very much for this very important information. Having these

facts at hand when we hear the oh-so-pious woman-haters talking is a very good thing. I was excommunicated from the rcc for, amoung other things, pointing out the sheer hypocrisy of its stand on abortion, and women's rights.

3. The Episcopal church

Supports a woman's power over her own body. I would imagine most "mainline" protestant churches do.
