Chief Rabbinate: Abortions are grave sin |

Chief Rabbinate: Abortions are grave sin
Rabbinic Council of Chief Rabbinate to establish committee to lobby against
abortions in Israel. Rabbis: Abortions delaying coming of messiah
Neta Sela
Israel's Chief Rabbinate decided over the weekend that it would establish a
special committee that would work to reduce the amount of abortions carried
out in Israel.
Both Sephardi Chief Rabbi Shlomo Amar and Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi Yona Metzger
supported the Rabbinical Council's decision.
The council made the decision after Dr. Eli Schussheim, director of the
anti-abortion organization Efrat, presented the rabbis with facts and
figures on the amount of abortions carried out in Israel yearly.
According to Dr. Schussheim, 50,000 abortions occur in Israel every year,
only 20,000 of which are legally performed.
The Rabbinic Council, which is made up of the Chief Rabbi of Haifa, Rabbi
Shaar-Yeshuv Cohen, the Chief Rabbi of Rehovot, Rabbi Simcha HaCohen Kook
and Beersheba's Chief Rabbi, Rabbi Yehuda Deri, has decided to have the new
committee begin work this coming Saturday.
"The vast majority of abortions are unnecessary and strictly forbidden
according to halacha because they are carried out even when the pregnancies
do not endanger the mother's health," the rabbis wrote in their decision.
The rabbis believe that these types of abortions are a grave sin which may
even delay the coming of the messiah. They base this assumption on an
expression uttered by the Jewish sages which can be construed as signifying
that the messiah will not arrive until all souls meant to be born to Jewish
mothers are in fact born.
The halachic basis for the rabbis anti-abortion position is articulated in
Genesis 9:6 which reads: "Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his
blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made man."
The rabbis see fetuses as constituting a "man" based on a Gemara passage
which states that a fetus in its mother's womb should already be considered
a human being.

And we atheists care about what a rabbi says in which way exactly?
Besides, since when do you care about what rabbis have to say?

I'm always interested to know what a man of the cloth has to say. I feel the
same way about atheist scholars. Doesn't mean I always agree with them but
unlike you and many of your ilk, I am open to hearing both sides to an
issue.

Why should any care what a **man** has to say about abortion?

He is just one person with only no special place in the world.

Because slavery is against the law and abortion isn't BUM.

One fine day in alt.atheism, "J Young" <jyoungvisions@aol.com> bloodied us
up with this:
Chief Rabbinate: Abortions are grave sin
As has been posted before, "God" gave us Free Will. You cathoholics will
agree with this. If "God" gave us free will, he is pro-choice. Catholics
are going against the will of god, therefore they are sinners and will burn
forever in the very hell they created.
Doesn't it suck to believe in God?
