Does The Overturning Of Roe Violate The Separation Of Church And State?

According to a May 5, 2022, headline on the New Statesman, “Overturning Roe vs Wade blurs church and state. Religious liberty for only one religion is not religious liberty.” Similarly, a June 28, 2022, article posted on Reuters announced, “U.S. Supreme Court takes aim at separation of church and state,” making reference to the Roe decision as well. But is the overturning of Roe in any way related to the separation of church and state? Or is it simply a legal ruling made by justices who happen to be religious conservatives?

On social media, it is evident that for many the matter is already settled. In the words of an Instagram meme forwarded to me by a colleague, “Let’s be clear. This is a secular issue. It’s not about religion. It’s about human rights.” And, “Keep religion out of politics. If you don’t want an abortion don’t get one. Freedom of religion is, ‘Hey that’s against my religion so I can’t do that,’ NOT, ‘Hey that’s against my religion so YOU can’t do that.’”
