It’s Crazy: Why Do So Many Jews Support Abortion?
ClashDaily.com ^ | March 4, 2014 | Jerry Novick

Throughout history, killing Jews – especially Jewish babies – has been a national pastime for some countries.

Ancient Egypt killed Jewish male children to keep the slave population under control.

King Herod killed all of the Jewish boys under the age of two in an attempt to get rid of the newborn Jesus.

Russia has killed a lot of Jews over the last few centuries. Germany killed over six-million Jews in just six years.

Arabs live to kill Jews.

It’s amazing that there are any Jews left to kill!

You would think that with so many people out to murder them, Jewish people would cherish life above all other things except God. And yet, nobody kills Jewish children quite like the modern Jew. From Jewish-American voters to the government of Israel itself, Jews pull the lever in favor of abortion at an alarming rate.

Israel has never had as staunch a supporter as the modern American Conservative. In the Halls of Power, it is the Conservative who fights the hardest for Israel’s continued protection against Arab incursions and state-sponsored terrorism. In Churches all across America, it is the Conservative who prays fervently for the safety of the Jewish State.

The health of Israel is never far from the Conservative activist’s thoughts, talking points, or priorities.

And yet, American Jews vote for Democrat Presidential candidates at an average rate of 70% since Israel became a country in 1948. So when Conservatives support Israel, it has nothing to do with garnering votes. It’s because Conservatives believe in the sovereignty, importance, and rights of Israel. To a Conservative, Israel is our closest ally not because they oppose the Arabs, but because we cherish their liberty and their right to exist.

However, on the issue of the right to life, there could not be a wider gulf between the American Conservative on one side, and the America Jew and Israeli government on the other. While active Conservatives do everything they can to protect the life of the unborn child, American Jews consistently vote for abortion supporting Democrats. Meanwhile, the government of Israel has one of the most Liberal abortion policies on the planet.

In Israel, the government will pay for most abortions. Oh, they pretend to moderate it by having an “abortion approval council,” but that council rubber stamps over 98% of the requests. And while the doctors and government give lip service to encouraging large families in Israel, they kill around 30,000 unborn children a year.

It is hypocrisy on steroids.

And quite frankly it confuses the heck out of me. Why would a nation that has had to fight so long and so hard for its very survival – for a people who have stared extinction in the face on countless occasions – be so fervently pro-abortion? It makes no sense. Not from a survival of the race angle… Not from a survival of the Jewish homeland angle… And certainly not from a Biblical angle. It frankly does not make sense from any angle at all!

You would think that at the very least Israel would look to encourage adoption over abortion. But the ease with which you can have an unborn Jew killed is the polar opposite of the difficulty it takes to adopt a Jewish child in Israel or from Israel. If you are a foreigner who wants to adopt an Israeli baby, you basically have to become an Israeli citizen with 3 years of residency. And if you are an Israeli wanting to adopt a baby, it’s easier to adopt one from another country and bring it home than to adopt one from a fellow Israelite.

Again, these are policies that make no sense. The Israeli government should be tickled pink to see their people spread across the globe once more. And yet the tragedy that is abortion is all the rage in Israel. It’s as if the Jews are looking to self-select themselves out of existence. They should put up billboards saying “Hey Arabs – just wait a while and our population will be too small to defend itself!”

So it is the American Conservative who is tasked with looking out for the lives of Jewish children here and abroad. It is the American Conservative who stands in the gap for Israel’s right to exist.

It’s past time for Israel to rethink its easy and free abortion-on-demand policy. And it’s also way past time for the American Jew to rethink their voting choices. If you want to protect the future of Israel and of Jews around the world, the right choice is to vote for Conservative candidates. They seem to be the only ones that are pro-Israel.

I would have thought, that, in response to all those that were taken, during World War II, they would have created a population explosion, to further demonstrate that they are, indeed, the chosen people, carrying out the commandment of being fruitful and multiply, in the face of those that still lived and desired them gone!

Let’s not forget Debbie (Blabbermouth) Wasserman Schultz couldn’t come up with a reason for Jews to vote for Obama and didn’t she also say a main issue with the Jews is abortion? Maybe the main article mentions this. I doubt if your Orthodox though are this way.

It may well be that New York City is a center of Liberalism in the USA and that is where a lot of the USA’s jews are. Remember what Jesse Jackson called NYC.

I have heard the definition of “fetus” and “life” by Jews as said here.

Per some posts here of which I have heard that reasoning, let’s not forget Jews like Michael Medved (Michael Savage too? I think if we can say he is still Jewish) are “pro-life”.

Per Medved:

“Jewish law for millennia has been extremely clear, that abortion is only permitted when the life of the mother is directly threatened,” he said. To link Jewish tradition to the pro-choice position is “ludicrous and ignorant.”

...

Nevertheless, abortion on demand is fundamentally contrary to Jewish law, and the general Jewish community attitudes reflect “a deep problem in our community; that we have gotten very far from the idea of viewing children as a blessing, which is the traditional Jewish approach.”

Also, found some on what Dennis Prager said but it did not have as much clarity as to his position.

Most of the woman that support abortion are the one you wouldnt want to boink anyways ala Sandra Fluke

Or are LESBIANS that wouldn't bonk ANY man, and therefore would NEVER be pregnant. So why are they obsessed with a pregnancy they can never experience? Jealousy?

A lot of it is demographics, hence, 80% or more of Planned Parenthood’s clinics are in minority neighborhoods. Planned Parenthood is a cash cow for Democrats and one of their puppetmasters.

Jews have always been leftists in America, it isn't something from the last 50 years or so, or because of NYC.

In the 1920 election the (actual) Socialist party got 38% of the Jewish vote, the republicans have never won it, FDR was winning 90% of the Jewish vote when Protestant America was voting against him.

Because Christians on principle oppose it.

Yes, it’s that simple regardless of what the conservative Jews argue.

“Jews” or Judaism does not support abortion.

However, because of some Talmud passages, orthodox don’t feel the person is a person until they take a breath - I disagree with this. So do a lot of people who had a miscarriage and were unable to formally mourn or have a proper burial. It is one tiny point I don’t agree with formal Orthodox Judaism. I think if the ancient rabbis had had ultrasound machines, they would have known what the women back then did know, about life before birth.

That is one truth about Judaism. But orthodox rabbis, when counseled about an unwanted pregnancy, will counsel the woman to keep the baby or at least give him life. Life is everything in Judaism.

However, there are the nonreligious or fooled by liberalism Jews, whose highest purpose is not living according to the Torah but being liberal. Even from their temples’ bimahs (pulpits) they only hear liberal memes. They don’t know how far from Judaism they are.

I have spoken with many Jewish lib women who say that they vote because of “choice” - they are brainwashed into thinking abortion is very important to women. When I ask them to walk me through what exactly was so important to women, they don’t know how. It’s a myth.

Easy abortions don’t help most women. They might help a woman whose life or family were in danger because she dallied with the wrong man. Or a Muslim woman who was raped. That’s about it. Easy abortions help men have condition free sex.

American Jews are more afraid of Christians than Muslims who want to kill them. They don’t want to be in the same camp as Christians.

Ah, but the question then becomes “When in the course of the pregnancy does the individual sprit combine with the physical body?” I’m not smart enough to figure that out, so I tend to be conservative in my estimate. In this case, “conservative” means I cannot agree to anything labelled “abortion”. As for me and my house, we consider that the two children we lost due to natural causes prior to their birth are waiting to greet us after our deaths. If I am right, then Hell has to include some element of aborted children greeting those who killed them. Just something to think about.

About 1.5 million in NYC. However, that needs to be parsed.

Both in the US and in Israel, there is an interesting demographic trend among Jews, in that Conservative and Reform Jews, usually the most liberal, are declining in numbers, but the Orthodox are having something of a population boom. In Israel, it is so pronounced that the Orthodox are growing in numbers much faster than are the Arabs.

And the Orthodox are still having their numbers augmented by Russian, Orthodox Jews, who are quite politically conservative, relatively speaking. Conservative and Reform Jews frequently leave Judaism altogether, and just associate with “cultural” Judaism, so their numbers are declining even further.

As you might suspect, Orthodox Jews are generally opposed to abortion. While still only 10% of the NYC Jewish population, eventually they will have a much greater say in the politics of Jews as a whole.

It is liberalism, and America has always been the nation that they have to overcome.
