My Religion Makes Me Pro-abortion Many of us working to protect access to abortion are doing so because of our faith, not in spite of it.

Think about the relationship between faith and abortion, at least in the United States, and you might conjure up images of prayer circles at the March for Life, or protesters outside clinics, or a priest giving a sermon on the sanctity of life. Religion is often associated with an anti-abortion stance in the American popular imagination—and white Evangelicals have been encouraging that connection for decades. Now those efforts are culminating in the most disastrous year for abortion access since Roe v. Wade was decided 49 years ago, and in the Supreme Court’s likely reversal of Roe. But many of us working to protect the right to abortion are doing so because of our religious commitments, not despite them.

I’m a rabbi and a scholar in residence at the National Council of Jewish Women, which fights to preserve the right to abortion and expand access to the procedure. Our organization’s Rabbis for Repro network includes more than 1,800 Jewish clergy of every denomination committed to supporting abortion access for all. My activism is grounded both in Jewish law and in my tradition’s understanding of our profound commitments to one another.

A story from the Book of Exodus, part of the Hebrew Bible, forms the backbone of Judaism’s formal take on abortion. Two people are fighting; one accidentally pushes someone who is pregnant, causing a miscarriage. The text outlines the consequences: If only a miscarriage happens, the harm doer is obligated to pay financial damages. If, however, the pregnant person dies, the case is treated as manslaughter. The meaning is clear: The fetus is regarded as potential life, rather than actual life.

Numbers 5:11-31 and Exodus 21:22–25

Numbers 5:11-31

[11] And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: [12] Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: The man whose wife shall have gone astray, and contemning her husband, [13] Shall have slept with another man, and her husband cannot discover it, but the adultery is secret, and cannot be proved by witnesses, because she was not found in the adultery: [14] If the spirit of jealousy stir up the husband against his wife, who either is defiled, or is charged with false suspicion, [15] He shall bring her to the priest, and shall offer an oblation for her, the tenth part of a measure of barley meal: he shall not pour oil thereon, nor put frankincense upon it: because it is a sacrifice of jealousy, and an oblation searching out adultery.

[14] “The spirit of jealousy”: This ordinance was designed to clear the innocent, and to prevent jealous husbands from doing mischief to their wives: as likewise to give all a horror of adultery, by punishing it in so remarkable a manner.

[16] The priest therefore shall offer it, and set it before the Lord. [17] And he shall take holy water in an earthen vessel, and he shall cast a little earth of the pavement of the tabernacle into it. [18] And when the woman shall stand before the Lord, he shall uncover her head, and shall, put on her hands the sacrifice of remembrance, and the oblation of jealousy: and he himself shall hold the most bitter waters, whereon he hath heaped curses with execration. [19] And he shall adjure her, and shall say: If another man hath not slept with thee, and if thou be not defiled by forsaking thy husband’s bed, these most bitter waters, on which I have heaped curses, shall not hurt thee. [20] But if thou hast gone aside from thy husband, and art defiled, and hast lain with another man:

[21] These curses shall light upon thee: The Lord make thee a curse, and an example for all among his people: may he make thy thigh to rot, and may thy belly swell and burst asunder. [22] Let the cursed waters enter into thy belly, and may thy womb swell and thy thigh rot. And the woman shall answer, Amen, amen. [23] And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and shall wash them out with the most bitter waters, upon which he hath heaped the curses, [24] And he shall give them her to drink. And when she hath drunk them up, [25] The priest shall take from her hand the sacrifice of jealousy, and shall elevate it before the Lord, and shall put it upon the altar: yet so as first,

[26] To take a handful of the sacrifice of that which is offered, and burn it upon the altar: and so give the most bitter waters to the woman to drink. [27] And when she hath drunk them, if she be defiled, and having despised her husband be guilty of adultery, the malediction shall go through her, and her belly swelling, her thigh shall rot: and the woman shall be a curse, and an example to all the people. [28] But if she be not defiled, she shall not be hurt, and shall bear children. [29] This is the law of jealousy. If a woman hath gone aside from her husband, and be defiled, [30] And the husband stirred up by the spirit of jealousy bring her before the Lord, and the priest do to her according to all things that are here written:

[31] The husband shall be blameless, and she shall bear her iniquity.

Exodus 21:22–25

[22] If men quarrel, and one strike a woman with child, and she miscarry indeed, but live herself: he shall be answerable for so much damage as the woman’s husband shall require, and as arbiters shall award. [23] But if her death ensue thereupon, he shall render life for life. [24] Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, [25] Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.

They already follow the Antichrist Pope..

Wait till Jews realize the Antichrist’s Saturn day isn’t holy and isn’t His Sabbath.

But that affects Antichrist Islam and mother and her harlot daughters equally..

Because the Antichrists Frigg day isn’t His 6th Day either..

Passover is.
The day the Son finished His Work.

Seems all religion is in the same boat in the end times.

Wandering after the Beast and Antichrist..

Enjoy His 4th work day today!
It’s a day He made the Sun,Moon, Stars..

The Antichrist Pope separates those into two days, Sun day and Moon Day..
Something Satan would do..

Counterfeiting Truth is a hobby of Satan..

Own the Antichrist Pope Gregory calendar, Babylonian warts and all.. it’s a False calendar that counterfeits His Truth..

The Antichrist sister, DC,with its matching occult sun worship obelisk and pregnant dome, are absolutely using the same calendar, and its named after a Pope. Your Pope.

Today is the Father’s 6th day, Campion.
Tomorrow is His 7th Day Sabbath-..

Don’t be too worried.
Islam, Judaism, Christianity are all supposed to be working tomorrow..
Not Remembering the Sabbath day..
Why should they?
Satan gives them his false days and his false reality and let’s them choose..

Satan and the Father have different ways to tell time.
And frankly, Islam and Judaism swing and miss too.

Because they don’t have the Son..

They actually follow Satan that counterfeits the Son..

Own the Antichrist Pope Gregory calendar

If the truth mattered to you, you would admit that "the Antichrist Pope Gregory calendar" had nothing whatsoever to do with the days of the week.

Babylonian warts

The Jews at the time of the Roman conquest used the Babylonian calendar for secular purposes. Catholics never did.

Today is the Father’s 6th day, Campion. Tomorrow is His 7th Day Sabbath-

You're a church of one on that -- nobody else in the world agrees with you -- but whether wrong or right, it was exactly as wrong or right before Pope Gregory as afterwards, because he had nothing to do with the days of the week!

Ezekiel 46:1, destroys the Pope Gregory calendar. It destroys the Julian calendar. It destroys Islam’s calendar. It destroys Judaism’s calendar.

It destroys all Babylon..

One itty bitty bible verse.

That’s all it takes to expose Satan, the Beast’s and Antichrist’s game..

A counterfeit game.

With 6 false work days and a false Sabbath.

Today isn’t the Father’s 5th work day, it is Satan’s, the Beast’s and Antichrist’s.
Islam, Judaism and Christianity all agree with Satan that today, whatever they want to call it (Many in the Judeo-Christian West like Thor’s day) , it’s a counterfeit..

Today is the Father’s 1st work day.

That runs counter to the Antichrist religions of Islam and Judaism and counter to Antichrist Pope led Christianity..

One bible verse.
One smooth stone.
One day the Father made that isn’t one of His 6 work days or His Sabbath.

And Satan, Beast, Antichrists and the Babylon the world is trapped in, falls..

And bye bye goes December 25, January 1, February 2, Good Frigg day,Holy Saturn day, Sun Day.

Hello New Moon Day, Sabbath, Atonement, Passover, Unleavened Bread and First Fruits, even Paul and Scripture’s first importance of the gospel.

Satan’s counterfeits to the Truth.

Truth only found in His Scriptures and Creation.
And Truth, that can expose each and every lie of Satan, even the Christian lies..

Satan and Paul do not have the same version of Jesus.
Satan and the Pope(s) do.

Thanks to one verse that exposes the Pope Gregory calendar.

Powerful sword the bible..
One verse even, one smooth stone.
One shot to the head, and the giant can fall..

Satan gets to deceive for a little longer.
The whole world. Even, and especially, Christianity.

But in the Kingdom to Come, Satan gets locked away.
What a Day that will be..
