...right of a woman to choose an abortion is nowhere in the actual text of our Constitution; it was found by the Supreme Court in a constitutional "penumbra" known as the right of privacy, which was first established to protect the use of birth control. But the Constitution explicitly and augustly ratifies "free exercise" of religion and "freedom of speech" in the First Amendment. A religiously-inspired refusal to help pay for elective abortions is an exercise of religion, and a denial by government of an exemption must survive "strict scrutiny," which is the same standard applied to state-sanctioned...
