And just to reiterate, I'm an atheist and don't care about religious writings, other than for historical interest. Different Jewish communities (or at least, commentators) at various times have condoned abortion in certain instances, like refusing to delay a woman's execution if she was pregnant, even if labor had already started. But the jealousy trial in Numbers has absolutely nothing at all to do with abortion, and there's no need to resort to lying about it.
Keep up the good work, Homeschool Mama. [And as an aside, homeschoolers could do a better job of advertising/advocating homeschool co-ops for parents whose temperament and social needs aren't suited to single-family homeschooling, but that's for another day and another thread.]
I must be overly tired because I don't know if I'm understanding your concern here. lol!
Are you saying the homeschool community doesn't have enough co-op opportunities for single parent families? If so, please know I lead a homeschool support group of 30 families...3 of which are single family...and well involved in almost every aspect.
Perhaps you could begin a thread about this very subject. I think it would be welcomed and would offer some great discussion and suggestions.
