Can't we just get abortion practice declared an organized religion?

It's become increasingly apparent that your Get Out of Hell Free card can also get you out of obeying any law you don't like and also allows you to control everything and everyone around you. All you need do is claim it "goes against your deeply held beliefs" and boom!

Well, we have deeply held beliefs too. One of the more important ones is Women Should Never Be Forced Into Unwanted or Unsafe Pregnancies.

I figure we create a new IRS-Approved religion that sees abortion and birth control as sacraments and one of the thousands of fertility goddesses as our deity, and then we can overthrow every one of these damn laws. Look at it this way: if the cult that uses this damn thing...



can be an IRS-Approved Religion, then so can abortion. Call it the Church of Choice.

Then then the 'Lifers could not protest as the abortion clinics would have Second Amendment protections.

Including coathangers. Religion seems easier. But time-wise, I think it's important to get the religious groups organized and papers filed so there is no waiting for an abortion.
