An Open Letter to Prime Minister Sharon of Israel from North American and European Rabbis
Dear Prime Minister Sharon,
We Rabbis, leaders of our communities, longtime Zionists and supporters of Israel, are writing to express our concern and our support for our colleague, Rabbi Arik Ascherman, who is on trial in Jerusalem for trying to prevent the demolition of 2 Palestinian homes....
I did not have to get off the first page of a search. And it is not unusual of Reform Rabbis to be leftwingers.
Reform Judaism is so permissive that it really isn't Judaism. It is a social club where they talk about Judaism and observe as they please AND the Rabbi approves AND Reform Judaism approves.
Under such a situation a Reform Rabbis opinion has no weight because to them the law has no weight. Torah is something to be used to justify doing what you want.
An Orthodox Rabbi would not end with:
"Will the Supreme Court continue to allow Jews to practice our religion with regard to abortion? The 5-4 decision on April 18 keeps this freedom intact. But the five members of the majority include jurists who have made it clear that they believe the government, and not doctors or clergy, should be the final say in decisions that regulate a woman's body. They have a power that I fear they will abuse when given the chance."
This Rabbi was a signatory of a letter from The Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism with a lot of other Reform Rabbis:

H.R.1122
Title: To amend title 18, United States Code, to ban partial-birth abortions.
I grew up in New York and not some but most of my friends were Jewish, and that is absolutely the truth. Reform congregations and Unitarians frequently shared spaces, if that tells you anything...
It's not just his position --- only a victim of Reform movement thinks and argues as this Rabbi. And only such a person would play victim of the nonexistent religious persecution by the government.
