FULL TEXT OF LETTER WITH LIST OF SIGNATORIES
In Support of the President's Veto of H.R. 1122
September 10, 1998
Dear Senator:
We are writing to urge you to vote to sustain President Clinton’s veto of H.R. 1122, the so-called "Partial-Birth Abortion" Act of 1997.
As rabbis, we are often called upon to counsel families facing difficult decisions concerning reproductive health choices, including abortion. Like other members of the clergy, we turn to religious law and teachings for guidance in providing such counsel. Judaism has laws governing the issue of abortion, but each case is considered individually.
As in other religions, in Judaism, there are different interpretations of these laws and teachings, and we respect and welcome debate on these issues. However, this debate should remain among those who practice our faith, not on the floor of Congress.
The debate surrounding reproductive choice speaks to one of the basic foundations upon which our country was established—the freedom of religion. It speaks to the right of individuals to be respected as moral decision makers, making choices based on their religious beliefs and traditions as well their consciences.
In addition, we are concerned about the language of the bill itself. Given the fact that the "Partial Birth Abortion" Act uses vague and non-medical language to describe the prohibited procedures, it would be very difficult for anyone, whether clergy or physician, to be certain about which medical procedures would be banned. Given the bill’s nebulous language and the importance of the issue, we find it difficult to engage in a theological debate on this matter.
Abortion is a deeply personal issue. Women are capable of making moral decisions, often in consultation with their clergy, families and physicians, on whether or not to have an abortion. We believe that religious matters are best left to religious communities, not politicians.
Once again, we urge you to vote to sustain President Clinton’s veto.
Sincerely,
(Rabbis listed in alphabetical order according to state, 729 total)

Men and women of God - defending the right to murder children.
Yep, no conflict there!
Semper Fi
Oy vey.
Men and women of God - defending the right to murder children.
Yep, no conflict there!
Let's make that "Men and women of self-centered men and women..." then there IS no conflict.
Doug, I think we can say with utter confidence, that these men are not "men of God", unless you wanna go with the little "g".
Any breakdown of the list by Orthodox, Reformed, etc.?
I doubt that any of these signatories are members of Jews for the Preservation of Firearm Ownership.
I presume they are all members of the organization that is the source --- Religious Action Center of Reformed Judaism.
Hopefully she'll pick up on it and publicize it.
I wish that I knew more about Judaism, but I don't. I do know that for many Jewish friends of my own, Temple is much more of a "social and societal must," than a Religion any more. Perhaps, and I cannot make a judgement, their faithful "celebration" of all of the old Jewish Tradition is just that ... TRADITION -- without Faith.
And yes, my friends, with whom I am now having a difficult time maintaining deep friendships, which I had thought to be lasting ... just over the issue of abortion ... believe that it is the woman's inherent right to dispose of a "fetus" any time that they want.
Because I am only a human, and NOT GOD or GOD-LIKE, I have a very difficult time stomaching some of their convictions, and therefore them, themselves. It is almost impossible to behave as if we are normal friends anymore.
Yah got your Conservative and Orthodox Jews, and then yah got your Deformed Jews.
I feel the same. I find myself no longer able to like people who have defended Bill Clinton. There is something missing in their souls and they have lost my respect.
THEIR REACTION TO THE OVERTURNING OF NEBRASKA'S LAW
Sounds like these dorks wouldn't know a holocaust if it goose-stepped out of the pond and bit them on the @ss.
If they think God's going to forget this, they'd better think again. He nailed the people of Israel for idol worship, and sacrificing children was part of it. Archaeologists have found skeletons of babies and small children in the foundations of ancient buildings from that time period. God was NOT happy about the apostasy, and He sent the Israelites to Babylon for awhile to teach them about their errors. Let's hope these losers have some asbestos yarmakles!
Apostates bore into all religious denominations for the express purpose of turning the denomination to evil purposes...preferably while receiving compensation. Fact is, there are some really nasty, mean spirited folks out there that get off by seeing helpless infants murdered. Probably 100 percent of your abortion doctors are in that catagory...Roe vs Wade has given them license to mutilate and murder. And the "braindead" American female is a willing accomplice.
While searching for info on an anti-Hillary rabbi, I stumbled across this and read it in disbelief. This is really, really sickening. What has happened to our nation's soul?In Judaism, just as in Christianity, there are millions of people who think too highly of themselves and think that their opinions are equal with God's. They practice neither true Judaism nor true Christianity, but some form of hedonistic humanism. Satan said in the garden, "ye shall be as Gods" and they think they are. Really they are not. There is only one opinion: God's. He is extremely miffed at anyone who even pretends to compromise. Think: spue....
Just as the Lord Jesus Christ talked with the patriarchs and prophets of old, He speaks to his own now. He said, Joh 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: Those who don't hear are NOT sheep.
The Lord will allow the wicked to be as bad as they can be to fill up their cup of iniquity. He will at the same time test his own. Some will pass the test. Some will fail. He is coming soon for all those who prefer Him above everything else in their life, indeed, for those who love Him more than even their life on this earth. 1Pe 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? Time to pick sides.
Agreed!
I should have had quotation marks around men and women "of God".....
Something is out of whack here...I work with a lot of Temple attending (serious/practicing)Jews, and do not recall a single one that approves of late term abortion, and many are against abortion-period..
Something doesn't smell right....

We really are a nation that has turned away from God. Makes me sick to think that people could kill babies and be proud of it. Standing up for clinton is more than I can understand.
Slight correction required.
No one "stands up" for Clinton - they must slither under the same slimy rock from which he emerged....
Clinton and his "flock" are white trash reduced to the lowest common denominator.
The reelection of Gore, or the election of Mrs. Hillary Rodham Clinton will bring more shame and pain to our Republic.
