Rabbi Charles Feinberg
appeared last week with other pro-abortion clergy to bless the opening of an abortion clinic in Bethesda Maryland, which was opened by notorious late term abortionist Larry Carhart's after his clinic in Germantown MD closed last year.
At the event, Rabbi Feinberg stated, "Jewish rabbinic authorities, starting with the Middle Ages, say that a fetus is not a person,"Judaism has always said abortion is never murder. It may not be permitted, depending on the circumstances - how far along the pregnancy is, how seriously ill the mother-to-be is - but it is never murder. It only becomes that once the baby is born." Feinberg also characterized the right to an abortion as a question of religious freedom."If a woman believes abortion is ethical, the government shouldn't keep her from the procedure," he said. "It is not the business of the government. It is the role of every religious tradition and its teachers, its ministers and rabbis, to give that advice."
Rabbi Feinberg retired from Washington DC's Adas Israel synagogue and now serves as the Executive Director of Interfaith Action for Human Rights. He advocates for the human rights of Palestinians and disenfranchised groups all over the globe, but fails to recognize the right to life of the human being in the womb. This lack of understanding is particularly disturbing given the nature of abortionist Carhart's history of killing viable infants using partial birth abortion, a federally banned third trimester abortion procedure that delivers the infant feet first and punctures the skull before removing the head from the birth canal. This violates even the most liberal prohibition of abortion favored by pro-abortion Jews.
