The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.

On January 19th, a lawsuit was filed by Americans United for Separation of Church & State and the National Women’s Law Center in St.Louis, Missouri, challenging the state’s ban on abortion. The 13 Christian, Jewish, and Unitarian Universalist leaders who filed the lawsuit argued that lawmakers used their religious beliefs to pass the law and imposed those beliefs on others. The lead attorney of the lawsuit, Michelle Banker of the National Women’s Law Center, stated, “What the lawsuit says is that when you legislate your religious beliefs into law, you impose your beliefs on everyone else and force all of us to live by your own narrow beliefs.” The Attorney General of Missouri, was named in the lawsuit and said in a Twitter post that he would “defend the right to life with every tool at my disposal." The lawsuit also quoted Nick Schroer, a Republican representative for the MO State House of Representatives and the bill's sponsor, saying, “as a Catholic, I do believe life begins at conception, and that is built into our legislative findings.” The lawsuit also noted that another Republican and co-sponsor, Rep. Barry Hovis, was motivated “from the Biblical side of it.” Caleb Rowden, a Republican and the Senate President Pro Tempore for Missouri’s Senate, argued, “We were acting on the belief that life is precious and should be treated as such. I don’t think that’s a religious belief.”
