The Supreme Court draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade sent shock waves throughout our country when it was leaked this week. If the ruling stands, abortion access would be decimated in huge swaths of the country, and the rights of Americans everywhere will depend on whether they happen to live in a blue state or in a red state. Beyond being a violation of the human rights of pregnant people, limiting access to abortion is an imposition of governmental Christianity on us all.
And it infringes on the religious liberty of every American Jew.

The Torah couldn’t be more explicit: A fetus is not the same as a human life.
The Talmud, a central religious text for Jews written over 1,400 years ago, makes this even clearer by stating that “a fetus is considered a part of the pregnant person’s body, equivalent to their thigh.”
This is what rabbis mean when we say that “access to abortion is a religious requirement for Jews.”
Adolf Hitler would have found common ground in this philosophy.
Uh where in the Torah, does it say abortion is a right.
“pregnant people”
Yup.
The Talmud is as medically correct as the Koran.
The Hebrew Bible, however, is the bedrock source of prolife instruction.
Rabbinic Judaism doesn’t seem to like the Hebrew Bible, though.
Sorry to say, but the Jewish position on this is scientific BS.
Yet this goober can't cite chapter or verse.
Already a thing with gun rights though.
"pregnant people"
lol
What about the rights of the human inside the pregnant person? The right to life?
This was news to me. My view of the jews as an enlightened people is rocking on it’s foundations.

So NOW the left cares about Jews?
Spare me.
The San Fagsisco Cornholicle ...
Also, even Ruth Bader Ginsberg stated that Roe v Wade was bad law.
61 verses in the Bible, most Old Testament, that say otherwise.

The Talmud huh? I wonder what Moses and the Prophets say about that? Probably to take another lap around Mt. Sinai.
For the Catholics here, in case anyone is wondering:
the official Catechism of the Catholic Church states: ‘‘Human life must be respected and protected absolutely from the moment of conception.... Since the first century the Church has affirmed the moral evil of every procured abortion. This teaching has not changed and remains unchangeable’’ (Catechism of the Catholic Church, #2270-2271).
As you can see, the statement is followed by a period.
I understand that the Torah is not chapter and verse but the Tora has been put into chapter and verse. Why are not chapter and verse cited in this article so the lame laymen might understand the positional context with his own reference material.
The fact that I’m even voice texting this into a smartphone indicates that I do have computer access but still... chapter and verse would be nice. That way I could cross-reference it with the Strong’s Concordance.
Warning: SCOTUS Roe opinion will take the Ramalama out of the Ramalamadingdong.
How many pregnant women think a punch in the uterus is equivalent to a punch in the thigh? I suspect zero.
