Today, the Supreme Court of the United States overruled Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision establishing a woman’s constitutional right to abortion. Agudath Israel of America welcomes this historic development.
Agudath Israel has long been on record as opposing Roe v. Wade’s legalization of abortion on demand. Informed by the teaching of Jewish law that fetal life is entitled to significant protection, with termination of pregnancy authorized only under certain extraordinary circumstances, we are deeply troubled by the staggering number of pregnancies in the United States that end in abortion.
We do not seek to impose our religious beliefs on the broader American society. We are of the view, however, that society, through its laws, should promote a social ethic that affirms the supreme value of life. Allowing abortion on demand, in contrast, promotes a social ethic that devalues life.
To be sure, there are certain extraordinary circumstances where our faith teaches that a woman should terminate her pregnancy. Agudath Israel fully supports her right to abortion in such situations, both as a matter of constitutional free exercise and moral principle. However, it must be reiterated that these cases are indeed extraordinary, rare exceptions to the rule that fetal life is entitled to protection.
We pray that today’s ruling will inspire all Americans to appreciate the moral magnitude of the abortion issue, and to embrace a culture that celebrates life.
Agudah should thank president Trump for his Supreme Court picks that made this ruling but of course they won't. They hate the best ohev yisrael president

ReplyDeleteDo they not believe in the 7 mitzvos for Bnei Noach???
What a stupid statement!!
We are obligated to tell the world what the Torah says.
Agree, yet overall give credit where credit is due.
ReplyDeleteThe public statement does come out quite fine
Positive flowing effects among others might be a little more modesty in many states as women will feel a need to dress a bit more standoffish and slightly less provocatively. They as well will likely stand firmer and say - no - a bit more since they might deal afterwards potentially with an unwanted pregnancy though rare and unlikely as most of the ruling legally is only relevant after 75, 90 or 105 days
ReplyDeleteWomen understand this intuitively
Are you blaming the women for the men's behavior?
DeleteWomen though they blame men whenever possible as the easy way out inevitably are complicit
DeleteYeah, because getting raped was a walk in the park before this ruling. This comment is par for the course from the word salad chef.
DeleteReally. They took over and got into your psyche.
DeleteThe rhetorical question and cheap shots you throw are moot.
Every female is cognizant if they would dress modest what you wrote is less likely to happen. They willfully prefer to do the opposite anyway
While should be beyond the scope of this site, and putting aside Projecting Personal Predatory Prejudices you carry,you are a Pawn playing a bigger game.
Ask yourself some starting
Questions:
How come, while obviously there is a bell curve, the bulk of males are so self afflicted and endlessly indict themselves? Your sons and nephews- are they all predators ?
Are women so innocent?As they project?
Guilt is proper, fine, - dig deeper - as long as it comes from inside.Not when
it's a society /gender driven smokestream foil
Women largely with subconscious shrewdness outsourced in the North and Western societies you live in presently,the role, the guilt, the burden that comes with it-to the men
It might be easier for me to decipher what you wrote in its original language (Hebrew? Yiddish? Russian?). It just seems like you translated it into English using Google translate.
ReplyDeleteInstead of dissecting psychology underneath your preference would seem to be for cliches or personal thrusts, so go ahead.
ReplyDeleteHope the above will be of help for some
Instead of trying to figure out why your writing is so loopy and opaque, you'd rather go with "personal thrusts" yourself.
