T<\/span>he American College of Pediatricians\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/acpeds.org\/position-statements\/when-human-life-begins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">states<\/a>\u00a0that for \u201cmillennia\u201d the following has been known:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>The predominance of human biological research confirms that human life begins at conception \u2014 fertilization. At fertilization, the human being emerges as a whole genetically distinct, individuated zygotic living human organism, a member of the species Homo sapiens, needing only the proper environment in order to grow and develop.\u00a0The difference between the individual in its adult stage and in its zygotic stage is one of form, not nature.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is unclear who Ocasio-Cortez considers to be \u201cfundamentalist Christians,&#8221; but it\u2019s true that Catholic teaching is against abortion at all stages of pregnancy, without exceptions, and that many Protestant denominations are against abortion as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But what does Jewish law <em>really<\/em> say about abortion?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The official <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/advocacy.ou.org\/ou-statement-roe-wade\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">statement<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America on the U.S. Supreme Court\u2019s Ruling in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dobbs v.

Wade<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> reads in part:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Orthodox Union is unable to either mourn or celebrate the U.S. Supreme Court\u2019s overturning of Roe v Wade. We cannot support absolute bans on abortion\u2014at any time point in a pregnancy\u2014that would not allow access to abortion in lifesaving situations. Similarly, we cannot support legislation that does not limit abortion to situations in which medical (including mental health) professionals affirm that carrying the pregnancy to term poses real risk to the life of the mother.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The statement goes on to declare, &#8220;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The &#8216;right to choose&#8217; (as well as the &#8216;right to die&#8217;)\u2014are thus <strong>completely at odds with our religious and halachic values<\/strong>. Legislation and court rulings that enshrine such rights concern us deeply on a societal level.&#8221; (emphasis added)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In addition, the Jewish Pro-Life Foundation recently <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/jewish-pro-life-foundation-abortion-anti-jewish\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reacted<\/a> to Ocasio-Cortez&#8217;s comments, calling them &#8220;dangerous and indefensible.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From these statements, it\u2019s clear that the goal of Jewish law regarding abortion is to protect human life. Abortion is certainly not seen as a \u201cright\u201d in the Jewish faith.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The misleading concept here is that Jewish law has one exception; it permits abortion in cases where the life of the mother is at risk during pregnancy.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the lives and health of mothers can become at risk during some pregnancies, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">induced abortion (intentional killing) <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/prolifereplies.liveaction.org\/medically-necessary\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is never medically necessary<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in order to save the life of the mother.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, a group of medical professionals came together at a symposium in Ireland and put together a document called the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dublindeclaration.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dublin Declaration<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which declares that deliberately killing a preborn child is never medically necessary. Over 1,000 medical professionals have signed the document to date. The Declaration <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/dublin-declaration-abortion-is-not-medically-necessary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">states<\/a>\u00a0(emphasis added):<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As experienced practitioners and researchers in obstetrics and gynecology, we affirm that <strong>direct abortion \u2013 the purposeful destruction of the unborn child \u2013 is not medically necessary<\/strong> to save the life of a woman.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to skewing the truth regarding when life begins, Ocasio-Cortez is placing a misplaced weight on religion and politics, as well. Abortion is not fundamentally a religious issue, and it\u2019s not a political issue at its core, either. The killing of an innocent preborn child (abortion) is <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">primarily an issue of natural human rights. If intentionally killing an innocent human is always wrong, and a successful abortion procedure always intentionally kills an innocent human, then intentional killing via abortion is always wrong.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pledge.liveaction.org\/?utm_source=lan&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=prolife_pledge\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-277267 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/pledge-live-action-ad-970x250-700x180.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"180\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a recent video, Rep.
