Fake Rabbi's Religious Freedom Pro-Abortion Law

✡︎ Shalom and Good Shabbos, Friends ✡︎


Fake rabbi and Montana state representative, Ed Stafman, has proposed a bill declaring that abortion is a religious freedom. Feeling confident after Montana voters rejected a recent "born alive protection" initiative, Stafman’s bill would amend a state law that protects pro-life doctors and nurses from being forced to abort unborn babies. It adds a pro-abortion exception that would allow pregnant mothers to abort their unborn babies in the first and second trimesters for “religious freedom” reasons even if state laws protect unborn babies from abortion at these stages. A hearing is scheduled today in the Montana House Judiciary Committee.


Legislator Says Killing Babies in Abortions is a “Religious Freedom”

https://www.lifenews.com/2023/02/15/legislator-says-killing-babies-in-abortions-is-a-religious-freedom/


This attempt at expanding baby killing in the name of Judaism comes despite a Republican super majority in the Montana State Legislature that has lacked the necessary leadership to save innocent unborn lives in the Treasure State.They've been unable to get a state constitutional amendment to a 1999 Montana Supreme Court ruling that included abortion in the state's right to privacy law.

Republican Lawmakers Shy Away From Changing Montana’s Constitutional Right to Abortion

https://khn.org/news/article/republican-lawmakers-shy-away-from-changing-montanas-constitutional-right-to-abortion/


Pro-life representatives need educated on how to debate Jewish pro-abortion arguments based on religious freedom. The distorted idea that abortion is a Jewish value needs to be corrected and replaced with the truth: Jewish law prohibits abortion. The exception allowed to save the life of a woman facing physical demise because of a pregnancy does not constitute a religious right protected under Jewish law, or state and federal religious freedom laws.


Abortion described as a life saving measure misleads everyone on all sides of this issue. Violently ending the life of an innocent child is no longer necessary to save the life of a mother, a rare condition that occurs in later stages of pregnancy when the baby can be gently removed from the uterus and possibly saved or given a dignified burial. This avoids unnecessary physical, emotional, mental and spiritual trauma to the mother and all involved.


We've started contacting MT legislators to educate and encourage them to defend human life against this fake rabbi's abortion industry propaganda. Please help us by making a few calls and sending a few emails to

Montana House Speaker Matt Regier and other Republican members. Of course, feel free to contact Rep Stafman, too. Here's a list of Montana legislators and their contact information.

Israel Pro-Life Education Project Update

We are working to bring our educational mission to Israel, in the form of the Israel Pro-Life Education Project, that will inform and transform Israel into a life affirming Jewish society inspired to protect unborn children and their families from the death and destruction of abortion. We need to pay a lawyer to register the JPLF as an NGO in Israel. We also need to pay a digital marketing company in Israel to build a Hebrew website and Hebrew social media platforms, translate our English memes and educational materials into Hebrew and manage the media campaign for a six month period until these funds can be raised in Israel. If you would like to learn more about how to help us with this project, please call Cecily at 412-758-3269.
