It means you’ve got your head screwed on straight and you’ve got at least half a brain inside that head.
Isnt abortion legal in Israel??
What Does It Mean To Be Jewish And Worship Moloch?
I am not quite sure the article got the nuance of the Jewish law on abortion, as I understand it.
Basically, abortion is only permitted if continuing the pregnancy will almost certainly end in the death of the mother and child, e.g., an ectopic pregnancy.
I’m a pro-life Catholic, and I am not sure there is any disagreement with the Church’s position.
Judaism is pro- life (allowing abortions only if medically necessary to save the mother’s life, a fortunately quite rare situation nowadays **). The title is redundant. “I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that I have set before thee life and death, the blessing and the curse; therefore choose life, that thou mayest live, thou and thy seed;” Deuteronomy 30:19. “Jews” who favor abortions on demand are no more Jewish than Nancy Pelosi is Catholic. ** ps: since the soul is understood to enter the body at day 40, some Jews will allow for abortions before then for other reasons. So, Judaism can be seen as almost as completely pro- life as the Church, and traditional rabbis work with priests trying to fight against abortion “clinics”. Believing Jews look upon pro- abortion JINOs with great regret or grief and even disdain, just as good believing Catholics look upon the Pelosi types
“If a woman is in hard travail” you can have a C-section so murdering a pre-born should be illegal.
Same is true of pro-life liberals, pro-life feminists, pro-life gays and so forth. They're there, but if they don't have their own banner you don't "see" them.
Modern archaeology suggests that the canaanite practice of child sacrifice served the double purpose of serving their damned gods while also being a primitive form of birth control. Why birth control? Climate change. Sometimes the rains failed to come for a long time. People died of starvation. Witness the way Jacob was driven out of the land by drought. Or Elijah contended with the baal priests to bring rain after a long drought.
The "Orthodox Jewish view" is the topic as correctly interpreted via Divine Law, rather than the humanistic reasoning of either the liberal or Catholic (assuming there's still a difference now) positions.
