No informed rabbi would authorize a torturous death of an innocent, pain capable infant when the baby can be easily saved. No informed rabbi would allow a fully formed infant to be born alive and dissected while still breathing. No informed rabbi would put a woman in danger when a safe alternative is available.

But to state that Halacha is “pro-choice” regarding abortion is the equivalent of claiming that Halacha is “pro-theft” or “pro-lying” concerning the Torah’s prohibition to steal and its requirement to be honest. There are legitimate exceptions to the rule; they are not the rule.

Tanach sees that the baby is a person from conception on. We do not find even one account of an abortion in the Tanakh; barren women, indeed, prayed to have babies, and this was celebrated.

Nationally sanctioned genocide of unborn children alarmingly resembles state sanctioned genocide of Jews. Both populations are dehumanized through effective propaganda that characterizes them as parasites and threats to others. Both are stripped of equal protections under the law, and tortured and killed without legal consequences. Immense wealth transfer occurs from the mass extermination of both populations.

The rarity of life threatening pregnancies and the abundant help available to women and families today reflects an entirely different reality. From what was suggested from the podium on Tuesday, more Jewish lives are at risk from abortion used as birth control than from Roe being overturned.

We remind our readers, once again, that Judaism in no way sanctions child murder, and that Saving a life is the paramount value of Judaism.

The Pregnant Person’s Freedom Act of 2022, SB669, allowing the murder of a live baby up to 28 days after its birth. California and other States have similar bills before their legislatures. Why are the self labeled progressives reverting to the infanticide practices of ancient Greece and Rome?

As With The Exodus There Were Some Who Didn't Want To Leave What They Preferred As The Evils Of Egypt, But In The End They Were Just Left Behind.

Among the millions killed before they could be born and grow up, have we lost those who would have had the gifts to cure dread diseases, develop energy sources that are actually clean and sustainable?

Relying on medieval texts to justify murdering children before birth - and after birth as abortion advocates increasingly demand - ignores modern scientific proof that confirms the actual living human status of the unborn child. Would Ms. Salamon dismiss outright modern treatment for disease in favor of ancient prescriptions such as bloodletting? Of course not.
