More than 2,000 rabbis say they want to set the record straight about Jewish law and abortion. This comes in the wake of statements from some rabbis and Jewish leaders that abortion is permitted under Jewish law and that safeguarding the right to an abortion is an obligation. This whole controversy centers around a law in the state of Missouri, the Right to Life of the Unborn Child Act. Managing director of the Coalition for Jewish Values, Rabbi Yaakov Menken, joins to share why some rabbis take issue with this measure and what they did about it. There is an idea out there that safeguarding access to an elective procedure such as an abortion is somehow a religious obligation for Jews. Rabbi Menken tells us where this idea comes from and whether there is any basis for it in Jewish law. Menken was among the 2,000 rabbis that spoke out about this argument that a pro-life position places religion over science. He discusses more about that. Rabbi Menken fills us in on what we can expect to see from our Jewish brothers and sisters in the fight for the unborn.
