1. Of course whoever doesn’t toe the party line won’t get help to win in the first place or re-election. Anyone frum running in a Dem primary must try to win without that help. If you are referring to Chaim Deutsch, he is running in a primary which already has a big fight between the communist-sympathizing incumbent and at least one challenger from her left! Deutsch’s hope is that they will concentrate on fighting each other, split the leftist vote between them, and he will be able to sneak in past them.
If he is successful, he will then have to decide what to do in order to get reelected in two years. He can either make nice with the Dems by toeing their line on most things while deviating on those issues that are most important to us, or he can just defy them and keep fighting them off every two years, using the power of an incumbent to the fullest.
2. On abortion, there is NOBODY in politics who proposes banning abortion even when the mother’s life is in danger. EVERYONE AGREES that even if abortion is completely banned, necessity would remain a defense, which means killing a baby in order to save its mother would remain legal just as it is after the baby is born.
And despite what self-serving leftists like Charliehall will tell you, that is the halachic position, at least according to the Rambam and R Moshe Feinstein. An unborn child IS a human being and killing it is murder in every sense of the word. Not “almost” murder, but actual murder. It has EXACTLY THE SAME DIN as killing a nochri.
I know this is unpopular among those whose yiddishkeit is subordinate to their liberal values, but it is the truth. Killing a nochri and aborting an unborn baby have the exact same din: A ben noach who does it is executed, whlie a yisroel who does it is not. That doesn’t mean he isn’t a murderer, just that HKBH doesn’t want him executed for it.
When the baby endangers the mother’s life it is a rodef, and she is entitled to defend herself by killing it, just as she could kill a burglar who breaks into her home and she fears will kill her. That is the Torah view and that is the most extreme right-wing Right-to-Life view, so frum Jews should be wholeheartedly on that side.
The only real difference between the two sides is that they start personhood at conception and we do at 40 days. But that is irrelevant in almost all cases, because abortions are almost never performed before 40 days. Usually at 40 days the woman doesn’t know she’s pregnant, or has only recently found out and hasn’t yet decided what to do.
