Look at it this way guys. You may never use your gun, but you want it anyway.
Abortion is the same for women. They many never use it, but it's just another option in their health and healthcare.
It's not so hard to understand under certain circumstances, women may want to abort a pregnancy. And they should have that option.

If your 2nd Amendment rights take precedence over the lives of school children, why wouldn't the 1st Amendment rights of Jewish people take precedence over fetuses?

Except the whole point of my OP is that any law a state passes that prohibits abortion prevents Jewish people from practicing their faith, thus violating their 1st Amendment rights.

Is the life of an innocent child more important than the life of the mother? Because that's what we are talking about in this instance. In cases where the mother is in danger their religious freedom allows for abortion.

SCOTUS and Congress established 150 years ago that the freedom of religion (and the free exercise thereof) does not extend to permitting acts that directly harm others. This is why human sacrifice and Jihad aren't tolerated as First Amendment exercises in the US. Try again.
A pregnancy that endangers life is considered a Rodef, and thus it must be terminated.
