Jewish Pro-Life Foundation says: ” As the first speaker at the rally, Ben Shapiro’s impassioned, heartfelt, and religious sentiments about protecting the unborn reflected the feelings and attitudes of everyone in attendance. We were so happy to have personally witnessed this Jewish expression of righteousness, intelligence, and compassion.
Our experience at the 46th annual March For Life inspired and strengthened us to continue working to promote a culture of life in the Jewish community. During his hour long podcast aired from the stage, Ben Shapiro fired up the massive crowd with his pointed arguments debunking the illogical and deceitful reasons given for abortion.

(Excerpt from “Jewish Pro-Life Foundation”)
– Judaism is the original pro-life religion, prohibiting abortion except in very rare cases where the mother’s life is in imminent danger.
– Abortion hurts women, causing short and long term infertility, physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, and relationship problems. Abortion decimates families and communities.
– During abortion procedures unborn babies are starved, poisoned, burned, dismembered, and born alive and their skull crushed or their spinal cords cut – all without pain medication.
– RU-486, the chemical abortion pill, endangers women. The drug is manufactured by a subsidiary of IG Farben, the German company that made the gas used to kill Jews in the gas chambers.
– The abortion industry manipulates, uses, and exploits women for profit, and hides behind a wall of privacy to hide a host of criminal conduct: infanticide – killing unborn children who are born alive, sheltering sexual predators and sex traffickers, illegally harvesting baby parts for profit, and violating health code regulations regarding safety, sanitation, and licensing.
These business, medical, and moral lapses show no resemblance to Jewish ethics.

PLEASE TAKE TIME TO SEND A MESSAGE TO THE GOVERNOR TO STOP THIS INSANITY!
Flip-Flop on Church and State
East Central University, facing complaint, agrees to remove religious symbols from chapel. But after criticism, institution halts the removal.
By Scott Jaschik – July 3, 2017
“East Central University — a public institution in Ada, Okla. — has found itself immersed in a fight over separation of church and state. Last week, after receiving a complaint from Americans United for Separation of Church and State, the university agreed to remove various religious symbols on permanent display in a chapel on campus. But then the university faced strong criticism from politicians and religious leaders in Oklahoma and reversed course. The university has stopped plans to remove the religious symbols, pending a further review of the issues.
“While it is legal for a public university to have a space that can be used by students for religious worship so long as that space is not dedicated solely to that purpose, it is a violation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution to display religious iconography on government property,” said the letter from Americans United for Separation of Church and State to the university. “Please remove or cover the religious displays and items.”
Specifically, the letter cites the display of a Latin Cross and other crosses that are on permanent display in a way that the letter said “communicate[s] religious endorsement to members of the public by displaying religious items or messages.” The letter cited numerous court decisions about such displays.
Initially, the university said it would respond by removing the crosses. But then religious leaders started to speak out, saying it was fine for a public university to display crosses.
Randall Christy, founder of the Gospel Station Network, told The Tulsa World, “It’s time for Christian people to take a stand for our history and heritage. The idea that the cross excludes people is not true — it’s the opposite. The cross represents that all are welcome, that people of all walks of life are loved by God.”
On Friday, the university announced it was reversing course. “We moved too quickly,” said a statement from Katricia Pierson, the university’s president. “We regret not taking time to pause and thoughtfully consider the request and the results of our actions on all of the students, faculty and community members who we serve … This requires a more thoughtful and deliberate approach to the request. That will be our next step.”
Via email, Ian Smith, a lawyer for Americans United, said, “The university has said that they will be taking a closer look and thinking about things. That’s fine — we gave them 30 days to respond, and the letter only went out on the 20th. Ultimately, though, we expect that they will make the same decision since the law is definitively on our side.“
A spokesman for the organization said many public colleges have chapels in which various student religious groups put up crosses and other religious objects during religious services or events. Americans United has no objections to such displays, the spokesman said.”

“It is time for patriots to mobilize and fight back. Appeasement is not the answer.
First, contact the university’s president and politely voice your opinion. Second, contact Oklahoma Attorney General Mike Hunter and urge him to fight back against this godless scourge. And finally, the university’s alumni should immediately halt all funding. If they remove the cross from the chapel – we should remove “In God we Trust” from their bank account.”
(A Jewish Perspective on Pro-Life)
“The pro-life issue is the most important moral issue of our day. Since the Supreme Court made killing children in the womb legal (although not legal in God’s sight), 53 million human beings have been murdered. That evil decree must be opposed because 3,000 years ago, God’s divinely inspired and authoritative Word made it clear that God is on the side of pro-life! King David, the divine poet, starts this pro-life poem by declaring that Adonai, the eternal God who is the Source Of Being, knows us completely. O Lord, You have searched me and You know me. He knows all of our physical activities. You know when I sit and when I rise. He knows all of our mental activities. You perceive my thoughts from afar. He is All-Knowing (omniscient). He knows us inside and out. He knows everything we are doing and everything we are thinking. You discern my going out and my lying down; You are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue You know it completely, O Lord.
This All-Knowing God is also All-Present and All-Powerful. He uses His All-Presentness (omnipresence) and His All-Powerfulness (omnipotence) to surround each human being and control us, just as an enemy that is besieging a city surrounds it, preventing the people from doing anything they may want to do. You hem me in – behind and before; You have laid Your hand upon me. A human being can’t do anything if God, who has the power to restrain his actions, does not give him the freedom to act (Keil and Delitzsch). We can only accomplish the things the Lord allows us to. And, it is a good thing that the Lord surrounds us and controls us, since fallen and all-too-foolish human beings need to be controlled! If the Lord didn’t limit what we could do, we might do great harm to ourselves and to others and inflict much damage on the creation.
God’s infinite understanding of each of the millions of human beings and His ability to control each one of us in order to restrain us and help us and benefit us is amazing to contemplate. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.
The Creator is not only All-Knowing and All-In-Control, but He is also All-Present God. Where can I go from Your Spirit? The Spirit is the non-material, not-limited-to-a-place aspect of God. Where can I flee from Your presence? If I go up to the heavens, You are there. God will be found at the farthest ends of the universe – and beyond. If I make my bed in the depths, You are there. The Creator’s presence is found at the deepest places – at the bottom of the oceans and the core of the Earth. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea – even there Your hand will guide me, Your right hand will hold me fast. From the highest heights to the lowest depths, from the farthest east to the farthest west, God is present and in control of everything that is there! Distance or location can’t hide us from the All-Knowingness and the All-Presence and the All-In-Controlness of God. Neither can the absence of light. If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,”even the darkness will not be dark to You; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to You. The eternal God is All-Knowing, All-Wise, All-Present and All-In-Control. Does that reality frighten you or comfort you? If you are not in a right relationship with Him, it should frighten you. If you are in a right relationship with Him, it should comfort you. If you know that He is also all-concerned about us and has a plan to do good for those who come to Him on His terms, that should comfort you.
Just as the Lord is all-present, and we can’t escape Him regarding distance, so we can’t avoid Him in time. He was with each one of us from our very beginning, at the moment of our creation and before, and He will be with us at our end and beyond! Not just human mother and father are involved in the creation of a new human life. God Himself is very much involved in our life! For You created my inmost parts; You knit me together in my mother’s womb. Human mothers and fathers are essential for the creation of a new human life, but God is also very much involved in the creation of each human being from our earliest moments. He is part of the formation process of each human being. That means that no human being is a mistake. That means that each human being, from the moment of conception, is a divine creation. That means that neither mother nor father nor all of society has the right to end that life, since they are not the only ones involved in the creation of a human life – God is! No woman has the right to choose the death of that God-created child. It does not only belong to her.
Every human being is an amazing work of God’s creation! I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that very well! David understood that the Creator is a great designer. Everything that God makes is done with amazing workmanship. The Earth and everything on it, its diverse ecosystems, the hundreds of thousands of plants and animals, the rivers and ocean and atmosphere, the sun, moon and stars, reveal amazing design. David understood that human beings are the highest of creation! We are made in the very image of God. David knew that he was one of God’s wonderful works! The divine poet understood that the great Creator of the universe designed him for a good purpose, and that made David’s life rich and meaningful. How poor, how sad and ultimately meaningless are the lives of people who are far from their Creator, who don’t know that with great thought He has designed each one of them! No wonder they are so often so confused and depressed, even suicidal!
Again, the All-Knowing Lord is very much aware of the creation of every human being. My frame was not hidden from You when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the Earth, Your eyes saw my unformed body. God knows about every human being from the moment of conception, and is watching over him and caring for him. The Lord wants that new human being – even if his parents don’t.
And, God has a unique plan for the life of every human being – even before birth! All the days ordained for me were written in Your book before one of them came to be. The All-Knowing Creator has a plan for each one of us before we are born. He knows how long we will live and the day our life will be over. He knows what we will do with the opportunities presented to us and what we will accomplish. He knows who will respond to Him and who will continue in their rebellion against Him. God has a plan for each one of us! This means that the life of every human being is pregnant with divine purpose. This means that no human being is a mistake. This means that no human being has the right to end the life of a child who is being formed in the womb. Anyone who is involved in abortion is ending a God-ordained, God-created, God-planned life. No human being has the right to do that!
The Creator is constantly thinking about us and protecting us and limiting our actions and moving us in the right direction so that we will fulfill the purposes He has for us! How precious to me are Your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with You. It’s nice when those who love you direct their thoughts to make your life safer and more enjoyable. How much better it is to have the All-Knowing and All-Loving and All-Sufficient God direct His infinite thoughts toward you!
A human being who has come to know the Three-In-One God has been created by God from his earliest moments. He is loved by God, protected by God, given a plan by God for his life in this world followed by eternal life in the World-To-Come! But those who stubbornly refuse to come to the Creator on His terms, who will not bow their knees before the Most High and end their wicked rebellion against Him nor yield their evil wills to His good will – fallen human beings who reject the Creator and benefit themselves by harming others – they will find that the Eternal, All-Knowing, All-Wise, All-Present and All-In-Control God will become their enemy.
A time will come when He will finally have enough of them and He will end the life that He gave them. The divinely inspired prophet, who shares the Lord’s dislike for the unrepentant and the God-ignorers and God-defiers, prays: If only You would slay the wicked, O God! Away from me, you bloodthirsty men! They speak of You with evil intent; Your adversaries misuse Your name. Do I not hate those who hate You, O Lord, and abhor those who rise up against You? I have nothing but hatred for them; I count them my enemies. The unrepentant and the God-ignorers and God-defiers will not experience eternal life. David does not want to be one of those unrepentant God-defiers and he does not want to share their final destiny, and so he prays: Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the “derech olam” – the everlasting way. There are two ways, and only two ways, through life; and each way leads to a very different destination. There is the everlasting way, and there is the way that leads to death. Only those who take the way of turning from their wicked ways and thoughts and coming to their Maker on His terms and trying to live a God-honoring life will be rewarded with eternal life. They alone are the ones on the eternal way. Everyone else, no matter his religion or lack of religion or level of morality, is on the way that leads to death. He is not headed to everlasting life and peace and joy, but to the first death, physical death, followed by the Second Death, everlasting death.
Which way are you taking? Which path are you on? Do you know that the eternal God is All-Knowing, All-Wise, All-Present and All-In-Control? That He knows us? That He created us? That He protects us? That He has a plan for our lives that spans eternity from the moment of our creation in our mothers’ wombs, and even before, to eternity future? If you know this and you respond to Your Creator, the Three-In-One God, by coming to Him on His terms and removing the spiritual and moral filth from your life, turning away from everything that He does not like, and consistently doing the things that are pleasing to Him, then you are walking on the “derech olam” – the everlasting way. You will live forever! If that is not you, I urge you to turn to Him today and start walking down that good and eternal path. Choose the everlasting way, the way of life! You are crazy not to! You have everything to lose and nothing to gain!
Shalom,

Since I do not have a Jewish Pro-Life group in my area, I try to work as much as I can with my local Christian brothers and sisters, BUT NOW I NEED THEIR HELP, as well as the help of other Jewish Pro-Life activists.
There is a protest going on against one of our misguided Rabbis who is working with Planned Parenthood. I try not to ask too much of my friends, but this is important to me and to the Pro-Life movement. I ask that you take a few moments of your time and send an e-mail to: RabbiWeiner@TINR.ORG.
I’ve included my e-mail below, but of course you can choose to write whatever you want to. We MUST ALL STAND TOGETHER, as abortion is an abomination to all people of every faith that follows the words of the Creator. If it is easier, just copy and paste one of the following pictures and e-mail it to him. One picture is worth a thousand words!
“Your biography says: “Judaism is not a spectator sport. One must engage Judaism in every way possible: from prayer to learning, from protest to visiting the sick, from visiting Israel regularly to feeding the homeless.” He believes that “Judaism is at its best when spirituality and action are paired.”
(Excerpt from the Jewish Pro-Life Foundation)
“Judaism emphasizes the sanctity of human life from conception to natural death, making it incumbent upon Jews to find alternative life saving ways to deal with unplanned and unwanted pregnancy. Adoption and single parenthood are much better choices for Jews than the intentional killing of an innocent life. Indeed, Judaism insists that a Jew break all the Sabbath rules to save the life of a fetus. Judaism prohibits desecrating the human body, but abortion destroys a human body, and the harvesting of baby parts for profit runs contrary to Jewish respect for the dead.
Our Jewish tradition provides clear guidelines to follow regarding the protection of unborn human life. From Genesis 9:6-7, “Whoso sheddeth man’s blood through man, shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made He man. And you, be fruitful, and multiply; swarm in the earth, and multiply therein“, to Deuteronomy 30:19, where our Heavenly Father clearly declares, “I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that I have set before thee life and death, the blessing and the curse; therefore, choose life, that thou mayest live, thou and thy seed.“
In the Zohar, our mystical sages warn us of disturbing human unborn life, “For there are three [persons] who drive away the Shekkinah (indwelling of God ) from the world, making it impossible for the Holy One, Blessed be He, to fix His abode in the universe and causing prayer to be unanswered…..{The third is} he who causes the fetus to be destroyed in the womb, for he destroys the artifice of the Holy One, blessed be He, and His workmanship…… For these abominations the Spirit of Holiness weeps.”
AS A JEW AND A PRO-LIFE ACTIVIST, I am embarrassed for and by this Rabbi, who in my humble opinion, shouldn’t even have the title of “Rabbi” in front of his name. He is not a good example of a Rabbi, or of Jewish Law.
Despite the fact that the Rabbi’s e-mail said he was on a month long vacation and could not respond, he managed to respond to my e-mail within a half hour or so, in the most disrespectful way possible, a way that NO RABBI would ever talk to a fellow human being, let alone a fellow Jew. Apparently the money he gets for being on Planned Parenthood’s Board of Directors has outweighed his humanity and his training in Jewish Law when it comes to the sanctity of life. I find it very interesting that when the Jewish Pro-Life Federation sent him e-mails and literature about abortion, he failed to take them on, but decided to take me, as a single individual on with his insults and disrespect.

The Passover story contains many messages about babies and polarizing attitudes about their birth.
The story begins by setting the scene for the inauspicious and miraculous birth of Moses. Circumstances at the time make his birth highly unlikely. Pharoah’s recent order to drown all Jewish male babies and raise all Jewish female babies as pagans causes great distress in the Jewish population.
Moses’ mother is 130 years old when he is conceived, a pregnancy that by today’s standards would be deemed high risk. She is under close scrutiny by the Egyptian baby police because as a Jewish midwife she has refused to comply with Pharoah’s order to drown newborn Jewish male babies. In addition, Pharaoh has great concerns that this family will produce a powerful heir and adversary because Moses’ father, Arram, leads the Jewish people in Egypt at this time, and Moses’ mother, Yocheved, comes from serious lineage, being the granddaughter of Issac.
Arram decides that all the Jewish married couples in Egypt should divorce rather than produce male babies intended for slaughter by drowning. His daughter, six year old Miriam, persuades him to rethink his decision, wisely pointing out that no babies being born guarantees no more Jews while Pharaoh’s orders wouldn’t necessarily have the same drastic result.
Arram’s decision to remarry Yocheved allows the Egyptian baby police to calculate a newborn baby nine months hence, when they will seize the infant and drown him in the Nile river.
Miraculously, the murderous plot fails when Yocheved delivers her son three months prematurely! Born at 24 weeks gestation in the year 2368 from creation (1393 BCE), Moses’ viable status allows him to survive without lifesaving neonatal care. His mother nurses him for three months, at which time she must save him from imminent drowning by removing him from the household. The basket method, the rescue by Pharoah’s daughter, the coincident and fortuitous employment of Yachoved as wet nurse and nanny all conspire to provide Moses’ safe passage from infancy to adulthood. His willingness to act according to HaShem’s will saves the Jews from the bondage of slavery, making possible the Covenant at Sinai and the rest of Jewish history.
Passover annually celebrates the miraculous events that saved Moses’ life and Jewish life from annihilation. It reminds us that Jewish life is precious at every stage of growth and development. From conception, Hashem wills for us a life with a destiny expressive of His wise and wonderful vision for humankind. He cares for us from conception, through gestation, delivery, adulthood, aging and beyond this earthly plain into the next dimension.
Today, attitudes and forces outside of and within our community again seek to extinguish Jewish light, stripping significance and value from human life, reframing G-d’s creation as disposable garbage. We must emulate Moses’ parents, acting to protect and secure Jewish lives in the womb at whatever cost, inconvenience or embarrassment. Whether just conceived or in the first, second or third trimester, only G-d knows the destiny of our children. Each has a special place among us, a special gift to give, a unique message of hope and salvation that naturally flows from living in the light and truth of G-d’s will for us.

Many Judeo-Christian leaders speak out against abortion, but the few who advocate for abortion often are the ones who get the most media attention. On Monday
Source: Baptist, Methodist, Episcopalian and Presbyterian Clergy Participate in Rally for Abortion
Too many people believe that ALL JEWS are for abortion and I want to clear that up right now. Just like all religions, there are progressive or non-affiliated Jews who do not live by the words of the Torah. The only exception is a case by case matter where the Rabbis have to determine whether or not giving birth will kill the mother. The majority of religious Jews do not believe in abortion, so in this respect I must contradict the above article, although they did mention that there were Jews at the Rally fighting for pro-life.
