A Jewish View on Abortion

 

I was taught from a very young age by my mother that Jews consider the life of the mother the most important and that if a choice had to be made to save the life of the mother or the fetus or baby it was the mother's life that took preeminence. See  link below.  I must have been only a child when she told me specifically that. Now my mother was not a woman who was involved in political issues but on that issue she was firm. I thought Jews often get those social issues correct and it makes me proud now to think that the tribe has it right 
 
The question now is how do we reverse that noxious decision overturning Roe? By electing a Democratic president for the next decade or two as the older Supreme Court justices retire. A Democratic president would not have to kow tow to Christian right fundamentalists. Oh sure, easy ..... NOT but as my example for all things political Professor Howard Zinn would have said keep your eye on the prize and keep fighting no matter the right wing extremists disgusting influence. They are wrong!! Do not give up the fight to bring back choice and Roe. Full term human life is at stake!
