No it means that taking the rights away from women is so egregious that Jewish Americans and Satanists are on the same side. Apparently law makers do not care that 70% of women in the country are pro choice.

Uh I believe she died as well. This is the only case you have? As stated, abortion was legal. Not much more to say about the matter.
Even though the child had died before “quickening,” court records state that “Brooke was brought before this court on suspicion of murder.”
After hearing such testimony, a jury of twelve men charged Lumbrozo with a felony because “she was with child when John Lumbrozo, he did give her physick to destroy it. …”

Sounds to me like the guy had to opportunity to deescalate the situation by just stepping back and closing his door. But instead he escalated the situation and killed the guy.
Sounds like one for the courts, judge and jury. Not me.
I could cite what I think are equal injustices that are brought about from stand your ground laws, and laws that prohibit warning shots.
Chief Judge KAYE.
Before defensively using deadly physical force against another, does a defendant standing in the doorway between his apartment and the common hall of a multi-unit building have a duty under Penal Law § 35.15 to retreat into his home when he can safely do so? We answer that question in the affirmative.
I would say it's the pro-choice side refusing to include science, ignoring the science, and saying everyone against it only has religious reasons because there are no others.
If the unborn can be considered "persons" under the 14 Amendment, why aren't the unborn counted in the census?
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.
I would say because according to the first section, the unborn are not citizens. Non citizens do not have a right to vote, therefore need not be counted in apportionment.
Section 2. Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed.
Everyone who resides in the 50 states of the United States is counted, including noncitizens. U.S. Armed Forces personnel and federal civilian employees stationed outside the United States are also counted
That's not what it says.

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?

First of all, the Supreme Court is no taking away anything. They are merely saying that abortion laws are a state issue. We live in a representative republic. That means the majority elects the law makers. This means the majority gets the laws that they want. If you are the minority, you don’t. That’s the way it should be. If you want a law passed, go lobby for it. Louisiana is passing the laws that the majority in Louisiana want. If that law is so important to you ,and you can’t get it changed, move to another state. The minority does not, and should not ,make the laws in any state.

So we are in agreement. Would you personally or can you name one person that would be against allowing a woman to abort the baby if it meant she would die if she had the baby?

There is no qualification that the "whole number of persons" are citizens only.

Section 2 Apportionment of Representation
Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice-President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State.

So if I look back I won't see any trials/convictions for abortion from the 1600s?

Dramatic changes have taken place on the legal front over abortions. English common law considered abortion a crime—a lesser crime in the first half of pregnancy because the baby had not yet stirred, hence was not considered alive. But with the mother’s “feeling life” during the second half, the baby was alive and abortion thereafter was a felony, murder. These laws were applied throughout the early United States until after the Civil War. [whereislogic: it's my understanding that a "crime" is describing something illegal, rather than the description "completely legal" used by the last article used by frogs453, it seems that source is misrepresenting history somewhat in order to advance their preferred ideology, while accusing others of doing that. The Isaiah 5:20,21 thingy.]
Conception, the union of sperm and ovum, was first accurately described by a German scientist in 1827. Thereafter it was appreciated that life began at conception rather than at “quickening,” as previously believed. After the Civil War the new American Medical Association sent its scientists to testify before committees and state legislatures, informing them that life began at the time of the egg’s fertilization. In response to this new information, every state in the union during the 1870’s and early 1880’s passed new laws making abortion a felony from the time of conception. AMA testimony: “We were dealing with nothing less than human life.”
