Peace Begins in the Womb

Shalom. Peace. We long for peace in the midst of war. People who long for peace in the midst of war can make peace right now at home and in our local communities.  We can stop waging war against our own future, We can make peace with our pre-born children.

The Immoral War Against Pre-Born Babies

The word abortion obfuscates a barbaric reality that happens thousands of times per day in a hidden war on the unborn. The war casualties are thousands of innocent babies around the world whose tortured bodies rarely see the light of day. Hiding the carnage is necessary for the continuation of this unacceptable human rights violation of global proportion. 

Babies in the womb are tortured to death without pain medication by starving, poisoning, dismembering limb by limb, inducing labor and then passively allowing them to die, murdering them outright, or keeping them alive for optimal organ removal and sale. Let's keep in mind for this discussion that as modern science now confirms, pre-born babies feel pain very early in their development.

This gruesome truth conveniently omitted or repudiated in abortion legal, social and  religious discussions alleviates moral discomfort for those who consider abortion homicide defensible. See factual information links at the end of this article.

Medical interventions that save both mother and baby are now readily available. Gently removing a baby from the mother rather than torturing that precious human life in the womb is ethical and safer for the mother. If the baby is viable, intensive care saves the baby. If the baby is not viable, the baby is given palliative care and a dignified burial. This approach respects the baby’s life and avoids risk to the mother.

In Israel, 20,000 Jews Killed Annually in the War in the Womb

Jews in Israel now face the existential threat of a multi-front war, but a war has been waging against Israel's most vulnerable since 1977, when abortion was legalized. An estimated 20,000 Jewish souls per year in the Jewish state scream out to their Heavenly Father as their fragile bodies are painfully destroyed.

Abortion access in Israel has expanded consistently over the decades, with 38 termination committees serving in private and public hospitals. See Abortion in Israel. Israel now has the dubious dishonor of having one of the most liberal abortion laws of all countries in the world, which is a sad commentary for a state founded as a sanctuary for Jews fleeing the atrocities in Europe.

In 2022, Israel’s Health Ministry made significant changes to its abortion law. Now, outpatient medical centers distribute drugs for home abortions. Termination committees, which for years were maintained for religious cover even as most government-subsidized abortion requests were granted, are being shuttered. Private, self-funded abortion continues in war-torn Israel and the IDF provides multiple “termination services” for its enlisted personnel.

As US cancels Roe v. Wade, Israel loosens abortion regulations making it even easier than before

Jewish Abortion Advocacy Incites Anti-Semitism

Claims by outspoken Jewish abortion advocates that abortion is a Jewish value and a religious right/rite exacerbate anti-Jew activity. These lies are widely circulated by the liberal media and through political action, influencing legislation and inciting Jew hatred and anti-Zionist sentiment from the left and the right.

Combine these elements with certain unsustainable demographic realities and the result is heartbreaking. We aid and abet our enemies each time we destroy a Jewish baby in the womb. Our enemies reproduce rapidly while our generational posterity declines with each baby's demise.

When a Jewish baby in the womb is destroyed, we deprive that Jew of an entire lifetime of living, as well as the opportunity to be counted as a Jew. Jew haters gain political influence every time a Jewish baby dies. In Western democracies, it is only a matter of time until Jew haters gain majorities capable of passing state ballot initiatives legalizing Jewish extermination programs, just as abortion majorities have successfully passed baby killing bills around the country.

Abortion Homicide is Self Perpetuating Genocide

Abortion leniencies abound within Jewish culture for reasons that are clearly prohibited in Jewish law, such as family honor, a young woman's future prospects, a worrisome test result, gestational age, or avoidance of criminal behavior. These leniences perpetuate Jewish genocide.

Exterminating our babies ignores compassionate life-saving alternatives such as open adoption, outstanding and plentiful pregnancy care centers and resources and excellent medical treatments that are ethical alternatives to baby murder. 

Jewish women and men know little of the history of RU-486, the abortion pill. It was invented by a subsidiary of the same German company that manufactured Zyklon B gas used to exterminate Jews. Media approval of abortion homicide suppresses facts about the relevant history and danger of self-medicated abortion and the life-saving possibilities of Abortion Pill Reversal. Current easy access to abortion pills makes self-prescribed at-home abortion preferable to the uncomfortable disclosures that accompany permission seeking from rabbis and committees.

Dehumanizing Innocent Human Life Leads to Holocaust

Demanding the legal torture and murder of pre-born babies can only gain public approval if the baby is redefined as subhuman or a nonperson. This tactic is applied historically to Jews in order to justify our mass murder. Jews who support baby killing by citing ignorant medieval opinions that dehumanize babies in the womb clearly repeat this evil. They serve as proxies for those who want to eradicate us. 

Abortion before 40 days gestation usually qualifies as morally acceptable on the grounds that the 'product of conception' is nothing but a lifeless entity. The developing baby in the first 40 days after conception is one of the most remarkable phases of human development. See the Endowment for Human Development for evidence of the miracle of human growth from the moment of conception.

People who argue for abortion homicide lack information on pre-born human growth and development, as well as actual harms and criminal behavior within the abortion industry. Hearing the truth triggers a cognitive dissonance and a moral dilemma that makes it impossible to pander to pro-abortion donors, safeguard jobs and social reputation. Knowing the truth and telling it alienates family, friends, and professional peers, many of whom have abortion histories and who strongly support the abortion industry. 

Babies Born From Rape or Incest Should Not Receive the Death Penalty

Permitting legal torture of babies conceived during rape and incest fails to consider the innocence of the child. In Jewish law, no one gets the death penalty for someone else's crime. 

While rape and incest are tragedies, destroying an innocent child is a greater tragedy that can be avoided with life-saving adoption offered by a mother who respects her child’s life to a mother who wants to love that child as her own.

Decades of research show that abortion methods are very dangerous and lead to a variety of serious infertility and health problems. Giving birth and then adoption are much safer for women and ought to be the only solution in cases of rape and incest.

Women who complete the pregnancy to term and choose adoption have much better outcomes than women who abandon their children to the abortionist even though they are often pressured to abort by perpetrators of the rape or incest. See the Charlotte Lozier Institute and the Elliot Institute and AAPLOG for research studies.

Imperfect Babies Should Not Receive the Death Penalty

Permission to destroy a pre-born baby because of an unfavorable prenatal diagnosis is often justified as merciful for a baby who is expected to die after a short or long term illness. Medical personnel frame the baby's painful demise by dismemberment or poisoning as compassionate care.

These unethical health professionals sell homicide as relief for parents who are unable to cope with their child's impending sickness and death. Many of these babies who are born grow up to lead useful lives, and parents love and support their children.

People who favor homicide for imperfect babies might change their thinking if they were forcibly tortured to death without pain medication because of an imperfect result on a medical or disability test! 

Data clearly shows that false positives and fear-driven abortion have become normative in modern medical practice. See False Positive DNA-Tech Testing is Leading to More Abortions. The vast number of false positive results found with these tests, along with insufficient practical and emotional support for a natural, dignified process to occur, leads to much unnecessary loss of life and heartache.

Comprehensive Abortion Education Needed

Inadequate education on abortion enables Jews to favor it, whether that lackluster education is received in a yeshiva or in an adult education class or social group. These lessons focus on esoteric legal arguments and social justice claims for equity that disenfranchise babies in the womb. They omit a comprehensive study of evil abortion industry practices that inform and change attitudes. This biased approach unfortunately also lacks a spirit of love and community responsibility. 

Finally, we must consider the regret and trauma that women and men often feel after having an abortion experience, whether soon after or in the future. After abortion regret shows up as chronic sleep disorders and nightmares, clinical depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation and substance abuse disorders. These long-term problems respond best to healing programs that include a spiritual element to address the underlying guilt and regret.

Jews tend to follow the leader on serious moral questions rather than engage in self-study or internal reflection. Jews follow their leaders down the rode to ruin and cultural decimation by being taught the value of abortion, or they hear nothing at all against it. This has given us a neurotic, morally confused Jewish majority who call for peace in the war against the Jews but who wage war on Jewish children in the womb. 

If we truly want peace, we can start by making peace with our unborn children.
