Feminism is a Jewish movement as most of the major contributors to modern feminist were Jewish women. According to Rabbinic Judaism, a Bechor (first born son) is not achieved except in cases of vaginal births. In other words, c-section delivered babies are not considered Bechor. Thus, to the Jews, vaginal birth is the point at which life begins.

Since Feminists derive their view on abortion from this religious construct by which the rest of us are forced to adhere, is the forced legality of abortion unconstitutional according to the principle of "separation of church and state"?
Frank: Actually the legal justification was "privacy" in the same way that a man can legally beat his wife in the "privacy" of his own home. But the justification of a legal ruling does not supercede its implications. In this case, abortion is an legal implementation of Jewish law.
Sasycajun: Respect for human life transcends religious practice. Yes, the religious tend to have more respect for human life than do the irreligious, but that’s only because they’re better people.

I think separation of church and state means just not forcing people to conform to a religious doctrine or practice. I can understand how prayer in schools and forcing students to sing religious songs is a violation of separation of church and state because it actually and literally forces them to conform to a religious practice and worship a certain God. But, how is putting the Ten Commandments on public buildings or having In God We Trust on our currency violating separation of church and state? How is that FORCING religion on anyone? If the Ten Commandments are on a building or if In God We Trust is on our currency, all it’s forcing anyone to do is LOOK AT IT! What’s wrong with merely LOOKING AT the Ten Commandments or In God We Trust? It doesn’t force you to worship a certain way or to conform to a religious practice. How is it coersive to just have to LOOK AT religion? Can someone please explain the reasoning behind the interpretation of separation of church and state today?
