With the Supreme Court’s conservative majority reportedly poised to overturn Roe v. Wade, many Jewish groups are preparing to combat the decision

 

ed note–as we begin this little discussion, let us get one ‘protocol’ established here that needs to be understood in Kristol-clear clarity viz what has been the legalized murder of as many as ONE HUNDRED MILLION unborn children in America for the last half-century, which is that those on the ‘Christian right’ who champion Israel, champion the Old Testament and champion the Jews as ‘God’s chosen people’ are primarily to blame for it.

 

If someone willingly invites a deadly, poisonous and aggressive viper into his home–as a pet, a ‘friend’ or what-the-hell-ever–and this viper does what it is biologically and zoologically designed to do, which is to bite people and kill them, who is to blame?

 

Not the viper. He’s doing exactly what he was built to do, no different than fish swimming or birds flying.

 

This is precisely what the leaders of the ‘Christian right’ have done with their incessant and intolerable quoting of ‘Genesis 12’ and all that ‘I will bless those who bless thee and curse those who curse thee’ nonsense–invited the viper into our national home, given him (and his children) free reign over everything and protected them from both criticism and prosecution via the ‘protocols’ of that ‘old time religion’, rather than viewing these dangerous creatures, these ‘vipers’–the exact words that Jesus Christ Himself used in describing them–as the existential threat to us all that they are.

 

Yes, the ‘Christian right’ spoke out against child murder/infanticide for the horrendous crime against God, nature and mankind that it is–

 

But then, when the same thing happened in places such as Palestine, Iraq, Lebanon and everywhere else that the vipers were free to roam and free to do what vipers are biologically and zoologically ‘built’ to do–

 

It was championed as ‘God’s will’ and as the ‘fulfillment of prophecy’ and something that Jesus Himself wants to see happen.

 

And it is not just the nutty evangelicals who play with poisonous snakes in their church services, do a lot of hollering and yelling and all the other theatrics and ‘Jrama’ that have come to typify any Protestant church in America and the West who are to blame.

 

Shamed to say, it is Christendom itself that is to blame.

 

2,000 years ago when the fateful decision was made to co-mix the narrative of the person of Jesus Christ–the Prince of Peace–in with the gangsters of La Kosher Nostra (as their biblical CVs describe them)  i.e. Abraham, Lott, Moses, Joshua, David, etc, what the world is witnessing right now became an inevitability. Rather than listening CAREFULLY AND CRITICALLY to what Jesus was saying concerning these ‘vipers’ and these ‘children of their father, the devil’, the ‘easy’ (and completely unwarranted) line was drawn between them and JC, when in fact the 2 were/are/always will be as different from each other as wolves and sheep, again, using the exact same comparison that Jesus Himself used.

 

As the reader will plainly see, the murder of America’s children through the process of abortion on demand is indeed a ‘Judaic’ commodity, not just in the fact that it was the followers of Judah-ism, the ‘children of Israel’ as they love to refer to themselves, who did the ‘heavy work’ in pushing it through the legal system in America, just as they did with pornography, gay marriage and all the rest of our national social ills, but indeed, a ‘Judaic’ commodity in the sense that this is what Judah-ism demands, and therefore, the followers of this bloody cult can be considered pious, devout and stalwart practitioners of their faith, in effect, ‘good Jews’.

 

After all, lest we forget–

 

When the LORD your God brings you into the land you are to possess and hands over to you the many peoples living there, you shall then slaughter them all and utterly destroy them…You shall save nothing alive that breathes…You shall show them no mercy. For you are a holy people unto the LORD thy God and He has chosen you to be a special people above all others upon the face of the earth…–Book of Deuteronomy

 

 

The Jewish Daily Forward

Jewish groups reacted with alarm and outrage at the news reported late Monday that the Supreme Court was poised to overturn Roe v. Wade, which would enable states to outlaw abortion. ‘We will fight for abortion rights with all of our strength,’ Rabbi Rick Jacobs, leader of the Reform movement, said on social media Tuesday.

 

American Jews overwhelmingly support abortion on demand and are concerned the Supreme Court would reverse Roe v. Wade. Orthodox Jews, who make up about 10% of the community, tend to be more ambivalent, with 38% expressing concern that Roe would be overturned compared to 81% of Reform Jews.

 

The National Council for Jewish Women is planning an ‘abortion justice’ rally in Washington, D.C., on May 17 and Sheila Katz, the organization’s chief executive, told supporters Monday to ‘rest up.’

 

‘Tomorrow we fight for abortion access like millions of people’s lives depend on it,’ Katz said on social media. ‘Because they do.’

 

Halie Soifer, chief of the Jewish Democratic Council of America, said the organization planned to focus its lobbying this month on convincing Senate Democrats to codify abortion protections into federal law. ‘Democrats have the majority in the Senate and House, we have a president who will codify Roe into law, and now its incumbent on Democrats to use that majority,’ Soifer said in an interview.

 

The flurry of activity was launched after Politico published a leaked draft opinion authored by Justice Samuel Alito that would overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1972 decision that found the Constitution prohibited states from banning abortions before the third trimester. It appears as if four conservative justices had joined the opinion. Since Roe, a series of subsequent rulings have allowed increased restrictions on both patients and abortion providers, but outright bans passed by Republican state lawmakers have typically been struck down by the courts.

 

Despite the broad support among American Jews for reproductive rights, child murder, there was little reaction from major Jewish establishment organizations early Tuesday. The Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, an umbrella organization that represents more than 50 groups, had not released a statement, nor had the American Jewish Committee, the Jewish Council for Public Affairs or the Anti-Defamation League.

 

Hadassah, the Jewish women’s organization, decried the reported court decision in a statement, calling it ‘an attack on women’s autonomy, freedom and health.’

 

‘When a woman’s right to chop into small, bloody pieces the living child growing within her, is limited, we also limit her right to safe, informed medical decisions and procedures,’ Rhoda Smolow, the group’s president, and Naomi Adler, its chief executive, said in the joint statement. ‘If enacted, this decision will have disproportionate impacts for the empowerment, economic equity and security of women in underserved communities.’

 

While support for abortion rights tracks with the political positions of Jewish voters, several rabbis and other community leaders also emphasized the matter of religious freedom. ‘Judaism allows and requires abortion in many circumstances,’ Blimi Marcus, an Orthodox Jewish nurse, said on Twitter. ‘The mother’s well-being takes priority over a fetus, according to Jewish law, and a fetus which harms a woman is termed a murderer.’

 

‘An overturned Roe will result in Jewish women everywhere being unable to practice their religion,’ Marcus said.

 

The Conservative movement’s Rabbinical Assembly weighed in Tuesday afternoon, calling for members of Congress to support reproductive rights in ‘each and every state.’

 

‘Reproductive freedom is again under assault, this time from the highest court in our nation,’ the organization said. ‘The RA supports full access for all those who need abortions to the entire spectrum of reproductive healthcare and opposes all efforts by governmental, private entities, or individuals to limit or dismantle such access.’
