Elie Wiesel
“We must always take sides.
Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim.
Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.”
Why We Educate
Abortion in the Jewish Community is Epidemic
The Numbers, Astonishing.
The Loss Of Life, Tragic.
The Reality, Frightening.
The Heartache, Inconsolable.
769 Israeli Children Die From Painful Abortion Every Week.
40,000 Jewish Abortions in Israel Each Year.
HAARETZ
Over 2 million Jewish children in Israel have died from abortion since 1948.
338 US Jewish Children Die From Painful Abortion Every Week.
17,622 Jewish abortions occur in the United States Every Year.
845,846 Jewish Children in the US Have Died From Abortion Since 1973.
(17,622 x 48 years [2021])
Abortion doesn’t just take one life.
It wipes out entire generations.
Our community loses many future descendants with each abortion.
As Jews, We Feel The Pain And Loss Of Each And Every One.

This author criticizes the founder of this Jewish Pregnancy Care ofganization because she is pro-life, G-d forbid! Our Blog Comment to Emily Kadar of Jewish Women's Archive
Professor Hymie Gordon, Mayo Clinic
“By all the criteria of modern molecular biology,
life is present from the moment of conception.”
Mrs. Lore Maier
“Where Hitler compelled people to do the killing, today millions of people choose to abort their babies of their free will. …If we let this go on, what is now a matter of choice could very easily become mandatory…"If we are not pro-life, we are against our own survival.”
Mrs. Lore Maier, was the first Executive Director of Heartbeat International, as a full-time volunteer. German-born, Mrs. Maier was the only survivor of her family of six in Nazi Germany. She was a court recorder during the Nuremburg trials and knew how the killing had escalated, with the “imperfect” being the first victims.
