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!
