[DonQ]

The Jewish attitude about a fetus is vague. There are some provisions that treat a fetus as a living person, but in the case of a stillbirth or a miscarriage the fetus is regarded as never having lived and therefore a number of religious laws and rituals applicable to a baby who died after drawing a breath are not applicable.

"The Jewish attitude about a fetus is vague."


Would you please explain what this means. I think the Torah is very clear.

There is nothing "vague" about where the Torah stands on abortion. Hair splitting here is ridiculous, Herr Clintone.

Isn't Supreme Court Justice Harry Blackmun, Jewish?

Look at his legacy of evil:
