Time for Texan Muslim women to sue their state for violation of their religious rights to abortion, or at least an exemption based on religious beliefs that permit abortion on various grounds. And yes, there are NUMEROUS fiqh positions on the subject. For some those grounds are just as narrow as the Texan law. And for some those grounds are as wide as permitting it for any reason before 40 days and permitted after the 40 day mark to preserve the pregnant person's life. Lots of positions on the matter.

At last, as promised, a thread about the overall arguments of #GenderedMorality: Classical Islamic Ethics of the Self, Family, and Society (@ColumbiaUP, 2019). This book came about because of my interest in gender in Islam and Islamic ethics. An expansive gender & feminist critical discussion of the akhlaq genre (philosophical ethics) didn't exist so I decided to write one. I examine 3 foundational classical akhlaq texts by al-Ghazali (yes, THAT Ghazali), Nasir ad-Din Tusi, and Jalal ad-Din Davani.

Starting a new book project on gendered experiences in IslamicBioEthics. Finally wrote up a thread on the IslamicBioEthics of abortion & why most Muslim jurists permit it up to 120 days (17wks). Esp for responding to anti-Muslim framing of American abortion bans as Islamic. Most jurists permit abortion for any reason up to 120 days after conception, which they mark as the moment of *ensoulment* and after 120 days in case of grave danger to the mother or severe/fatal abnormalities of the fetus.
