JOWMA and the Tochecha: This world is not a Hefker Velt! 

יש דין ויש דיין

BS”D

שֹׁפֵךְ דַּם הָאָדָם בָּאָדָם דָּמוֹ יִשָּׁפֵךְ כִּי בְּצֶלֶם ה׳ עָשָׂה אֶת־הָאָדָם

HaKadosh Baruch Hu tells us in Bereishis 9:6 that an unborn child is a human life, and ending its life is murder. 

Yet, the Jewish Orthodox Women’s Medical Association clearly differs with the Creator of the world, as they encourage mothers to terminate their babies’ lives in utero.

Last Sunday, May 7, in the week of Parshas Behar-Bechukosai, in the Parsha of the tochecha itself, JOWMA held an event that certainly set a rock-bottom record for an organization (pretending to be) geared to the frum community and faithful to Halacha.

The abortion provider doctor who spoke for about a half hour described in detail the various ways an abortion can be performed at different stages of pregnancy - i.e. she talked about how she murders babies for a living.

She consistently stressed how safe abortion is. In fact, she said that pregnancy is more dangerous than skydiving (I wonder why we never knew that?) and that ending a pregnancy is ALWAYS safer than continuing it. 

This was not about saving the mother’s life. This was about terminating unwanted pregnancies. 

An unbelievable, extremely serious breach has opened in Klal Yisrael, which can only lead to devastating consequences, chas veshalom. In fact, the Zohar teaches us that abortion is one of three extremely serious sins which cause the Shechina to depart from amongst us, resulting in tragedies, Rachmana Litzlan.

Here is the Halacha, quoted from a distinguished senior Talmid Chochom and Posek:The Halacha is straightforward. Abortion is MURDER. 

The status of an unborn child however is not the same as a born person. The only difference being in a case where the child is causing the mother to die unless he is aborted. Then the sub level of life that the child has gives precedence to the life of the mother and we may abort to save her life. Just as we can kill a Rodef. If however the head is out he is considered a full life just like the mother, and then even if his birth is killing the mother, since he is not intentionally being Rodef her, we do not intervene even if the mother will die.

I requested: Please elaborate on the status of a person who performs abortions which are not required to save the mother’s physical life.

Is a murderer. According to the Torah has transgressed the most severe sin. Even with Teshuva (very difficult) remains stained. Will suffer greatly in this world, besides punishment in the next.

In answer to my query about “psychological reasons” that people are claiming allow for this murder:

Psychological reasons??? for the murderer to permit murder do not exist. If the mother threatens suicide it’s a sofek death and killing the baby is Vadai, אין ספק מוציא מידי ודאי. 

They CERTAINLY have מתירים. But they’re עמי הארץ.

In response to people who are killing their unborn children because the doctors claim that the child has defects:

First of all, many, many times the in utero diagnoses are completely wrong. I have had quite a number of Shailos about a baby that can NOT בשום אופן survive, i.e. his head is the size of a finger, or he’s for sure Down’s Syndrome, and when the baby’s born, Lo and Behold!! He’s 100% normal. Head the same size as yours and mine!! Not Down’s.

So! To even take the diagnosis seriously is a joke. Shlomo HaMelech wrote 

כַּאֲשֶׁ֨ר אֵֽינְךָ֤ יוֹדֵ֙עַ֙ מַה־דֶּ֣רֶךְ הָר֔וּחַ כַּעֲצָמִ֖ים בְּבֶ֣טֶן הַמְּלֵאָ֑ה כָּ֗כָה לֹ֤א תֵדַע֙ אֶת־מַעֲשֵׂ֣ה הָֽאֱלֹהִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר יַעֲשֶׂ֖ה אֶת־הַכֹּֽל׃

He used the impossibility of knowing כעצמים בבטן המלאה as an example of things we cannot know - and this still holds true in the age of sonograms.

You don’t know !!!

Next; even if the baby is lacking all his parts, he is still a baby. Even if his life is completely “unproductive,” it’s still the exact same murder.

Whether or not his life is worth living according to the Eugenicists ימח שמם וזכרם, he’s a נפש!!! And according to the Torah it’s absolutely Murder - Capital Murder - to extinguish his life.

The Rav raised a very important point. The philosophy of eugenics is the one which tells us that some people are untermenschen, their lives better off not being brought into this world, and that they aren’t worth the trouble those around them must go through to care for them and support them. This was the Nazis’ philosophy.

It was apparent from the abortion provider’s talk that many of her patients are Orthodox people coming in for fetal malformations. Other people are simply terminating pregnancies because they don’t want to have a baby.

I never could have imagined that we would sink this low. (continued below poster)

Please try to get to 96 Whythe Ave. by 10 AM, or at least by 11 AM. If that isn’t possible, please join anyway, at anytime throughout the day, to protest this grave Chilul Hashem of avowed atheists being brought into our frum community to speak to us. 

Please make and bring signs to hold in order to give over the message that we stand for Emuna in the Creator of the world, and against those who are enemies of Hashem and who promote evolution and kefira.

Here are some direct quotes from JOWMA’s talk. 

The entire transcript of the webinar is on a PDF attached at the end. (Please note that JOWMA removed the original YouTube video of the event which they had posted, perhaps due to a Rav who was horrified and made a phone call. But they now reposted it with a weak disclaimer that they are committed to Orthodox values, etc.)

Baruch Hashem, the original was downloaded and saved as evidence before they removed it.
