This article stunned me utterly. Discovered this through networking w/ Freepers.

If these abortion numbers in Israel are actually true, then it's utterly unfathomable to me Sharon's recent statements regarding the demographic problems Israel is facing. Unfathomable that he didn't address this topic that is.

Folks, I'm very interested in this question now in a way that never occured to me before: what is the abortion rate in Muslim countries? Do Muslim countries even have abortion rates that can be measured??

FYI..the vast majority of Jews in Israel are non-observant..so, there's a defintie co-relation..OTOH, here in the good ole USA, we have Joe Lieberman, a "modern Orthodox Jew"..whatever the heck that is..proclaiming to the hills his support for killing babaies, and not ONE Orthodox rabbi threatening to perform a second circumcision on him for saying that..

Do you know if abortion is legal in Muslim countries?

Yehuda Levin is da man.

[Chris Talk]

Abortion is illegal in Muslim countries. And in Mexico.

This 13% rate of abortion to conception in Israel, in the article, is well under the some 25% rate in the USA since 1973.

Islam permits abortion in the first few months for medical reasons but it rarely happens as children are so desired. And the technology to detect medical problems in the womb is lacking in most places.

. . . then it's utterly unfathomable to me Sharon's recent statements regarding the demographic problems Israel is facing.

In that sense, Israel is no different than the United States, which aborts more than a million children a year while at the same time allowing more than a million immigrants (legal and illegal) to pour across our borders on an annual basis. And yet we are such ignorant, short-sighted morons that we actually keep a straight face while we complain about illegal immigration in this country.

[Psalm 73]

Israel has been sacrificing infants on the altar of Moloch for three thousand years - it's a nasty habit they picked up from the pagans.
HOW many times throughtout history has God brought judgement on them for following in the ways of the pagans....?

I thought that the Jews survived in ancient times because they alone of the ancients condemned abortion and infanticide.

Nothing new about this, I'm afraid. Many Jews are ultra liberal, and therefore they are among the groups who abort their children at a high rate. Other such groups are the Chinese and Japanese, Americans, Canadians, and Europeans. In all these countries population growth is below the rate for reproducing themselves.

Jews have the added problem of assimilation--marrying gentiles and effectively disappearing. That's not such a problem in Israel, but it is a problem in America and other countries that might otherwise feed new generations of Jews into Israel.

9/11 terrorists killed under 3000 people in NYC.

Every year, ABORTIONISTS, in that city alone, kill VASTLY more than that!

We need to follow the money. Who pays to set up the clinics? Who lobbies to expand the legality of abortion? In Eastern Europe and Russia it is Soros, see this month's Chronicles magazine.
