Thanks for posting the numbers.

Here is what interested me.
1. Reformed Jews 37%
2. No branch Jews 32% (basically these the Jews who are genetically a Jew and have no interest in the Jewish religion)

These 69% of all Jews are the ones who consistantly vote for Democrats.

Well, Mr. and Mrs. Jew, God believes you are not following Him, according to Scripture.

You are grossly wrong.

Pathetic justification: “83% in one 2014 poll..”

This Jew does not. This Jew calls out most other Jews for being anti-G-d.

They would be wise to discount man’s law (Talmud) in this regard because according to the Ten Commandments God said “Thou shall not kill”. All the “science terms” that humans can conjure can not replace core fundamental humanity.

In general. liberal Jews in America who want to continue the killing of their babies in the womb have little to be concerned about.

With one or two notable exceptions large numbers are already clustered in the democrat run states that will continue that vile practice.

IMHO, for the most part their choice to congregate in cities and urbanized leftist states gives some insight into their prevailing attitudes,
life style choices and politics.

Here are the 10 states with the highest Jewish population:

New York (9.10%)
New Jersey (6.10%)
Massachusetts (4.30%)
Maryland (3.90%)
Connecticut (3.30%)
California (3.00%)
Florida (3.00%)
Nevada (2.50%)
Illinois (2.30%)
Pennsylvania (2.30%)

Most Jews are actually secular leftists regardless of their professed religion, according to Ben Shapiro.

Another Frankfurt School cookie-cutter activist. There are literally thousands of them just like her everywhere you look.

I think you’ve put your finger on why Roe survived so long... and it’s true of women in general, not just Jewish women. If you WANT your baby, it’s more precious than diamonds; if you don’t it’s trash. That’s just how most women think. IMHO

“Overturning Roe violates my religious freedom.”

Muslim law say’s it’s OK to kill infidels, therefore laws against murder violate their religious freedom.

The Bible is essentially a historical text outlining about 4,000 years of the Jews turning their back on and rejecting their own God.

Well Hannah it’s too bad Hitler didn’t know this. He could have used a slower method of extermination and the Jews would have been fine with it. (sarcasm)

the irony is about 80% of the liberals complaining the loudest most likely live in blue states where nothing will change!

Well, in America we don’t base law on the Talmud.

I suppose they could go somewhere where the law is based on the Talmud if it’s that important to them.

Yours is a lefty Jewish rag with small viewership in need of donations to stay afloat.

The links provided in #50 are an esteemed Jewish scholar group and the following solidly cultural Jewish groups and Rabbis who supported the overturn of Roe:

JEWISH PRO-LIFE FOUNDATION,
THE COALITION FOR JEWISH VALUES,
JEWISH LIFE LEAGUE
RABBI YAKOV DAVID COHEN,
RABBI CHANANYA WEISSMAN.

Your comparison is not even close.

Interesting observation.

I wonder if they’re worried about their populations being reduced while ours grow?

I guess that could happen.

From 2009 https://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/judaism/jewishethics/abortion_1.shtml

Judaism and abortion
Judaism does not forbid abortion, but it does not permit abortion on demand. Abortion is only permitted for serious reasons.

Judaism expects every case to be considered on its own merits and the decision to be taken after consultation with a rabbi competent to give advice on such matters.

Strict Judaism permits abortion only in cases where continuing the pregnancy would put the mother’s life in serious danger.

In such circumstance (where allowing the pregnancy to continue would kill the mother) Judaism insists that the foetus must be aborted, since the mother’s life is more important than that of the foetus.

Jewish law is more lenient concerning abortions in the first forty days of pregnancy as it considers the embryo to be of relatively low value during this time.

Abortions because of defects in the foetus or to protect the mental health of the mother are forbidden by some schools of Judaism and permitted by others under differing circumstances.

The argument for allowing such abortions is normally based on the pain that will be caused to the mother if the pregnancy is allowed to continue.

Sanctity of life and abortion
Judaism has a supreme concern for the sanctity of human life.

According to the Mishnah (Sanhedrin 4:5):

Whoever destroys one life is as if he destroyed a whole world, and whoever preserves a life is as if he preserved the whole world.

Apart from an overall regard for the sanctity of life, Judaism finds other reasons to forbid abortion:

killing a foetus breaks God’s command to populate the world
killing a foetus destroys something made in God’s image
killing a foetus is wanton destruction of part of God’s creation
killing a foetus destroys something that could become a being
killing a foetus is an unjustifiable act of wounding
it is wrong to injure oneself
Classical Jewish arguments about abortion are mainly concerned with the distinction between killing someone who is fully a person, and someone who is not so fully a person. There’s more about these arguments later in this article.

Abortion is not explicitly referred to in the Hebrew Bible - so the abortion arguments have to draw analogies from the text.

In fact Biblical Jewish teaching doesn’t deal at all with the circumstance of an abortion deliberately induced with the consent of the mother - that concept seems completely unknown.
