From that article:

Some peculiar arguments were apparently made to the Court, I'd note, but the extent to which they figured in the Court's decision is unclear.  One party argued that the fact a party seeking an abortion might have to travel was apparently argued to raise constitutional issues, but it frankly isn't clear how that would be true.  A Jewish plaintiff argued that the statute infringed on her religious rights as Judaism, she said, permits abortion (I'm not sure if that's actually universally true) and, according to her, in some instances requires it.  On that latter point, I didn't hear it developed as an argument, but at least generally, I highly doubt that's true.

In today's Tribune, an article by a local Rabbi points out in great detail that, in fact, the Jewish religion is pro-life and does not sanction abortion except in limited circumstances to save the life of the mother.

I had doubted the comments made by that plaintiff and based upon the Rabbi's comments, the Wyoming law went further in allowing abortion than Judaism traditionally has.
