“Halacha treats killing an unborn baby EXACTLY THE SAME WAY it treats killing a nochri.”

And that is a lie, too.

It is the exact truth and you know it. Show us one difference between them.

And the Catholic position on abortion to save the mother’s life can easily be found in any work on Catholic ethics. Any action whose purpose is to kill the baby is forbidden. Any action whose purpose is to save the mother’s life is permitted, even if the consequence is that the baby unfortunately dies. Which is exactly in accord with what the halacha says.

But EVEN IF the result of banning abortion would be that some Jewish women would die who could have been saved, it would still be worth it because those few deaths would be far outweighed by all the Jewish lives that would be saved.
