Misuse of Torah Language to Justify Abortion Exodus 21:22-25
Jewish Pro-Life
We examine how the Torah text of Exodus 21:22-25 is misused by Jewish abortion advocates to justify unlimited abortion rights, and offer a sound halachic alternative from Rabbi Shlomo Nachman which clearly shows that Judaism gives the unborn child fully human status and the same protections and respect as all other people. The State of Israel serves as a sanctuary for all Jews except unborn ones. We pray that the citizens of Israel provide sanctuary to unborn children, too.

The Tragedy That A Rare And Narrow Exception To Prohibiting Abortion In Judaism Expands Into Unlimited Abortion On Demand
Jewish Pro-Life
We look at the original prohibition of abortion in Judaism and then we look at the original narrow exception to the prohibition. From biblical times until today, the 'save the life of the mother' exception has been expanded through corrupted Judaism to allow unlimited abortion for a wide range of non life threatening conditions. We quote Rabbi Moses Maimonides and Rabbi Joseph Soloveitchik and look at the prohibition's expansion over time and how it affects abortion attitudes among Jews today.

We Can Emulate Jews Who Fought Against The Abortion Industry
Jewish Pro-Life
Jewish leaders opposed legalizing abortion. In the 1970s Jewish leaders in New York and Chicago spoke out for life. We can emulate these righteous Jews by speaking out for life. Exodus 23:7, "Distance yourself from a false matter and do not kill a truly innocent person." The abortion industry is built on lies and the destruction of innocent life for profit and eugenics purposes. Jews who realize the gravity and tragedy of their mistake can be redeemed by our forgiving tradition of Teshuvah.

The Strength And Conviction To Include The Child And Father In The Solution To Unplanned Pregnancy. Pro-Life Torah Metzora
Jewish Pro-Life
Torah portion, Metzora. A person suffering from skin lesions may has a spiritual sickness. Our sages explain that their suffering comes from an imbalance between loving kindness and disciplined strength. The patient recovers through a treatment of intense self-examination and sincere atonement for harms done. We associate this imbalance and remedy with the strength of character and conviction it takes to include the child and father in a whole life solution to unplanned pregnancy. Faith in God.
