The Motion Picture Production Code sure could be useful today...she’s a disgusting nasty person.
That’s history.
Sorry, that tired old trope has expired. This woman was in elementary school in the 1980s, not the 1940s. Catholic school teachers at that point were nearly indistinguishable from public school teachers. There *might* have been a modern-dressed Sister as principal or religion teacher.
Maybe it’s a case of “any stigma is good enough to beat a dogma”?
Traditional Jewish teaching for more than 3,000 years is that abortion is prohibited for both Jew and non-Jew. There is a very small exception to save the life of the mother, as pagan practice was to kill the mother to to save the (male) child.
The original Hebrew of Genesis 9:6 specifically states “adam b’adam” (”mankind in mankind”) in prohibiting the shedding of blood. There has never been doubt that this prohibits killing in the womb.
In America, anyone can make up anything they want and call it by the name of any traditional religion regardless of accuracy.
'Nuff said.
“You get to have a weekly Shabbat,” she gushed, “which is just like a party every Friday.”
Yeah. That's because G-d created the world in six days and rested on the seventh. That's something you would not have heard about in the Catholic Church.
“That doesn’t mean that Judaism outlaws abortion,...”
I would think any group of people who survived the Nazis would outlaw abortion.
Judaism is a religion of law and statute whose source is G-d. Abortions, like everything else, is strictly regulated by Divine Law. It isn't identical to the Catholic doctrine, but it isn't identical to secular liberalism either.
You're spreading hooey.
Judaism is a legal system. It regulates everything in life. And if there is no formal system of punishment it is merely because Jews are in exile and no longer have the Temple and Sanhedrion. These will be re-established eventually.
Some three hundred years ago even Jews in the diaspora lived under the Theocratic rule of the Rabbinate--a situation which should be reinstated.
Judaism teaches to not harm people, but teaches liberty too. There are tradeoffs to make in that.
Judaism is a Theocratic religion--in fact, the Theocratic religion. The Torah is full of punishments for violations of commandments (even if the criteria to carry them out made them extremely rare).
All Torah-observant Jews live in a portable Theocracy in exile.
Oh my goodness.
Judaism is nothing but Law.
You're an ignoramus.
No religion is less libertarian than Judaism. It is an all-embracing legal system of totalitarian proportions, which is what G-d meant it to be.
Have you ever read the Book of Joshua?
You know, where Joshua exterminates seven entire nations because G-d commanded him to?
May God grant her the grace of repentance and conversion.
During his show May 26, Conan O’Brien invited actress and recent Judiaism convert Natasha Leggero onto his show. Leggero praised her new religion for treating abortion as “cool” enough to have on “every Jewish holiday.” After all, she reasoned, it’s good to have a back-up to fall on, just like AAA for cars.
Not a Jew, so I'm not up on all that, but I'm guessing she's adhering to one of the less, uhhh, "rigerous" variants of modern Judaism.
Whatever. She's in show business. She'll drop this and be something else in a half decade or so.
This young woman is a disgrace. She’s either ignorant or very evil. The Jewish community should denounce what she said.
Too many people think “The Blues Brothers” is real and try to pass it off as their own true story.
Thank you. In Judaism, abortion is only acceptable to protect the woman from a physically harmful pregnancy.
“Col. Klink’s” father, the musician and conductor Victor Klemperer, wrote a very interesting book about his life under the Nazis and later. Robert Clary (the little Frenchman) also wrote a book about his family’s experiences during the War.
Other than Bob Crane, whose violent death was not really a surprise, considering his life, most of the cast had excellent careers after the show.
To me the most fascinating was Leon Askin (General Burkhalter)
Fled from Vienna to the US in 1940 and, served in World War II as a Staff Sergeant in the US Army Air Forces.
Lived to the ripe old age of 98.
It sounds like he deserved a ripe old age!
