I've seen as much, but I haven't done a deep dive on this specific subject, though. I could research this myself, but I'll ask you anyway in the hopes that you know and can distill it for me. Do orthodox Jews follow the Torah exclusively? Or do they, like most Jews, also follow the Talmud in some form or another? I'm pretty sure the "it violates our religion" argument they use to promote abortion is an aspect of the Talmud, not the Torah.
From what I researched about them, Orthodox Jews follow both the original Torah and the original Talmud.
The so called Conservative denomination and Reform Jews don't really follow either the original Torah or the original Talmud.
Conservative Jews and Reform Jews both espouse a sense of religious pluralism.
Conservative Jews analyze the texts with a modern day lens.
The Reform denomimation takes it a step further and views both the Torah and Talmud as living documents and that they evolve with the times.
In terms of a politics analogy, Reform Jews are the far left progressives, Conservative denomination Jews are the old school liberals and Orthodox Jews are establishment Republicans.

In essence, they populate every aspect of globohomo.
Anyway, thanks for the reply. Have a good weekend.
Looking up subgroups in Judaism clarifies what is happening.
Reform Jews and Jews who live an atheist lifestyle are suing Florida over the new abortion restrictions saying it violates their religion.
Orthodox Jews say that abortion violates their religion while the Reform group says that restrictions violates their religion.
Most Orthodox Jews voted for Trump while all other Jewish denominations have only voted for Democrats.
78 percent of Jews voted for Biden. 22 percent of Jews voted for Trump.
Orthodox Jews are sadly the only subgroup of Jews that are even open to center-right policies.

Thanks! I hope you have a good weekend as well!
No matter how much the Brandon administration is ruining the U.S., I will enjoy celebrating the 4th of July.
