I’m surprised by the Jewish acceptance of abortion in light of the history of genocide of the Jewish people over the millennia often justified by claiming they were less than fully human with a right to life. I would think they would be more sympathetic to the plight of the weak and helpless at the mercy of those in power over them.

There's spiritual Jews and cultural Jews, and they are entirely different people.

But don't you think it shouldn't matter in light of their history of persecution and genocide? I can't help but think there would be a certain sympathy/empathy towards the innocents who are being led to the slaughter. Regardless of religious belief/unbelief there remains the intrinsic human element. There has to be a spiritual blindness preventing people from recognizing that when you approve of the killing of helpless unborn babies, you are, in essence, cheapening ALL human life.
