(21,334 posts)to trash religion on DU? It's nearly a daily occurrence.
But when you trash ALL religion, you also trash allies. The following religions do NOT forbid abortion. They also uphold and work for the rights of women, minorities, POC, and LGBTQ people. Mainstream Lutherans, mainstream Presbyterian, and Episcopalian. I know that there are some others, but these are the 3 whose views I am familiar with.
Judaism supports abortion to preserve the life and health of a woman. Individual branches of Judaism vary on details. There is a case of freedom of religion being brought on behalf of Judaism and the right to abortion.
So why would you want to trash people who agree with you on abortion rights and on rights for women, POC, and LGBTQ people?
