It's that influence on the Court that worries me most, even though half my family was Catholic. But one must remember that Dobbs allowed states to pass abortion laws, but not to pass UNCONSTITUTIONAL abortion laws. The "life begins at conception" idea is a particular belief of a particular part of Christianity. Laws that incorporate it into their structure are denying the rights of those who don't share their beliefs. Other interpretations include "first breath" (a lot of Jews) and Viability (a lot of other Christians, not to mention the non-religious or other religions.)

There are a bunch of cases right now challenging that idea of a law based on a particular religious perspective. And I fear that if and when those wend their way upward, we will get some mendacious reasoning that says "that's Just Fine."
