May Rush Limbaugh have a speedy recovery

[as2]

An Orthodox Jew who thinks like me, shouldn't be a thing.

FTFY

[aygart]

All halachic sources agree that a fetus doesn't have the same status as a living thing, like an adult.
The gemora says until 40 days maya balma.

I don't disagree.

[Shkop]

And a Orthodox Jew voting republican in NY is ביטול תורה

It may be a waste of time, but voting for a liberal is far worse.

[Dan]

And a Orthodox Jew voting republican in NY is ביטול תורה

Oy. Then what is an Orthodox Jew in NJ/NY that is listening to Rush?

[EliJelly]

May Rush have a complete Refuah Shleimah, Amen

I'm sure you refer to your rush yeshiva

[EliJelly]

Practicing Judaism

[Shkop]

So whether it conforms to what the Torah says is of no relevance to you as long as he advocates for what feels good to you (or it feels good to you whatever he advocates). He advocates for capital punishment in cases which the Torah considers to be murdering the convict. Plain and simple. You are basing on a pasuk nad ignoring all of the torah shebaal peh about it. The capital punishment which would occur based on his advocacy would cause more murders than it would cause rightful capital punishment according to the torah. If it is the torah that you are standing up for  you would care about what the torah says and not just some vague idea. The facts are that you are advocating something the torah considers murder.

Instead of claiming to know all of Torah Shebaal peh, can you give some concrete examples and sources to prove your assertions?

[Dan]

Politics is simply a yeshiva guys frummy version of sports.

You've been Best Of'ed.

[aygart]

I don't have the answer. In Judaism if both mother and child are at risk is there a preference of one over the other? Don't know how to ask this without sounding cold. 

Until a point in the birthing process the mother is given precedence.

[Shkop]

A bunch of Jewish liberals.
So so sad.

[CountValentine]

I'm asking what you would do in a real life situation. We would take the situation and all it's factors to a rabbi with an extreme knowledge of the Torah, who can interpret it and apply it to our unique situation, which is essentially what @aygart said up thread, when he said

You never know until you are in that situation.
If you allow abortion in any circumstance then that is not being anti-abortion. I am not judging anyone.

[aygart]

Instead of claiming to know all of Torah Shebaal peh, can you give some concrete examples and sources to prove your assertions?

How about targum and rashi on the pasuk you quoted for starters? (The false absolute is duly noted)

[zh cohen]

I don't have the answer. In Judaism if both mother and child are at risk is there a preference of one over the other? Don't know how to ask this without sounding cold.

Obviously very complex question but in a general sense as long as the child is in the womb the mother's life takes precedence. Once the child is mostly out of the womb, they carry equal weight.

As addressed here (although he left out the translation of the last line)

See this mishna from Ohalot:
הָאִשָּׁה שֶׁהִיא מַקְשָׁה לֵילֵד, מְחַתְּכִין אֶת הַוָּלָד בְּמֵעֶיהָ וּמוֹצִיאִין אוֹתוֹ אֵבָרִים אֵבָרִים, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁחַיֶּיהָ קוֹדְמִין לְחַיָּיו. יָצָא רֻבּוֹ, אֵין נוֹגְעִין בּוֹ, שֶׁאֵין דּוֹחִין נֶפֶשׁ מִפְּנֵי נָפֶשׁ:

A woman who was having trouble giving birth, they cut up the fetus inside her and take it out limb by limb, because her life comes before its life.

[aygart]

But what are his views about abortion?

Just to repeat this question. Does he feel that abortion should be illegal?

[Jellybelly]

Frummy? Thats still around? Havent heard it in yrs!

[ExGingi]

Oy. Then what is an Orthodox Jew in NJ/NY that is listening to Rush?

Driving.

[Shkop]

How about targum and rashi on the pasuk you quoted for starters?

And here I thought you were referring to some gemorahs.
This is going to be good.
Feel free to copy and paste it so we can get a clear idea of what you are talking about

[aygart]

Driving.

You aren't listening to sichos when you drive?

[aygart]

And here I thought you were referring to some gemorahs.

That is the next step

[ExGingi]

You aren't listening to sichos when you drive?

Unfortunately not. I can't concentrate. If I do I am highly likely to miss a turn, an exit, or something of the sort.
