This episode tackles the controversial topic of abortion for the unfortunate circumstances of conception for rape and incest, what is called the 1% of abortion cases. We've heard many times even religious Jews credibly justify abortion in these circumstances. Because abortion for the 1% is almost universally accepted today among many people, including Jews, we look to the Torah to correct this self serving corruption of traditional Judaism. We start by studying Power Point slides #22 Circumstances of Conception, and slide # 23 The 1%. Next, we mention a heartwarming and inspiring interview by LiveAction about a woman who recounts her life as a woman conceived in rape and her mother who chose life. We include a second story from the Justice Foundation about safe haven laws that allow unwanted newborns to be dropped off at police and fire stations and hospitals, providing a life saving alternative to unplanned pregnancy. We close this episode with counting the 18th day of the Omer. Aired 4/27/20.
