It is fascinating that so many Orthodox Jews believe that halacha falls on the pro-life side of the abortion debate.
Even a cursory glance at the poskim show that halacha is much more accommodating than many Republican policy proposals. A more in depth limud would probably confuse people even more!
Whilst certainly not ‘pro-choice’ in it’s outlook, halacha is so much more complex than the current political debate.
Frum Jews need to really examine whether their hashkofos are actually informed by halacha, or by the terrifying shift of the community to the political right.
