The governor signed AB775 that goes into effect in California on January 1, 2016 which requires anti-abortion clinics to also provide patients information about abortions. This article in the 15 October 2015 Union Tribune by Christopher Ingram says that the anti-abortion groups have filed a lawsuit complaining that it infringes on their religious freedom to have to tell pregnant women about abortion options. Those same groups all over the US have worked hard to force pro-choice organizations to provide counseling to patients concerning carrying their baby to term. Now that the law has tried to make it fair for both sides, they are claiming "religious freedom infringement" by being forced to explain the abortion option.
Maybe the pro-choice group needs to form a religion that advocates for abortion. That way they also can claim 'religious freedom" when the anti-abortionists try to force them to provide counseling.
The right-wingers claim their anti-abortion and anti-birth control position is based upon teachings of Christ. That connection is very weak. Most of the "theology" was created by monks who were most interested in increasing the population of Catholics to help spread the religion. At the time, people were an asset to the family, the community and the church. Now the rapidly increasing population of the world is a threat and liability to everyone. Of course, the "In God We Trust" group are probably trusting God to solve the problem with a dramatic "act of god" such as a worldwide cataclysm, a severe global plague, or maybe a nuclear holocaust? If not, meanwhile we are on our own. God has given us brains and ability to work together to solve problems. We should do it!
