So Jews still can't wear mixed blends, eh? My my, what a convoluted belief system. Some commandments are for everyone, some are for Jews, some are overturned by Jesus but only for converts. Reminds me of the parking signs in Los Angeles. No parking from 7pm-7am except for District 2 decals. No parking on Tuesday from 8-9. No parking Saturday and Sunday. 2 Hours only... all on the same pole.

I don't think your Genesis verse will work. Otherwise it would prohibit war, capital punishment, killing slaves, and disobedient children... no, I think it's time to face the cold, hard facts: abortion wasn't an issue back then and your all-seeing all-knowing God didn't foresee this situation enough to specifically prohibit it. The Jews are right. It's a non-issue that Christians have simply glommed onto in their efforts to battle sexual freedom. Losing battle.

Thank GOD that our 'god' did not prohibit being wary of 'mexican' judges!

Jews to this day are indeed prohibited from wearing “shatnez” mixed blends. There are many websites and any Orthodox rabbi can explain this.

You can make up your own views of the Bible and history of Jews all you want, but the fact is that Jews have always understood that birth control abortion is specifically prohibited for Jew and non-Jew alike.
