Record Number Of Americans Say Abortion 'Morally Acceptable' | Across America, US Patch

 What's disturbing about this poll is that 19% said it is never acceptable, which means those ignorant people are okay with a woman being made to carry a product of rape or incest to term, which is not really a "pro-life" stance.   In Judaism, we don't believe the same beliefs according to Jewish law(halakha) that Christians do.   In Judaism, choosing to have an abortion is more nuanced.  The mother's life has much more value than in evangelical Christianity. A woman can choose to have an abortion for physical reasons of hers, or mental or financial reasons, as well.  No one really wants to have to have an abortion, but in life, it's really better if the woman has an option.  Abortion has always existed in written history.  It's been criminal for a lot of it.  Women still did it themselves, unsafely, and if it's criminalized in the USA again, that is still the truth.  An embryo doesn't feel pain in the beginning, even if it has a brain and nervous system; doctors state that the two are not connected in the beginning.  If you believe in life after death, abortion is also not a sin, because the soul doesn't enter the fetus until right before, or during birth.  Jewish law also believe that the first 40 days the embryo is like water. So, I am pro-choice, because it is not murder.
