UJM,
1) If you had read the EO , you would have known that it is written with the advice of WH Counsel ‘s office.
According to Laurence Tribe, professor emeritus at Harvard Law School, the president’s actions “have been carefully vetted within the White House Counsel’s Office and at [the Department of Justice] and are assuredly within the president’s legal authority.”
2) I am surprised that you are protecting the states rights to ban abortion even when the mother’s life is at risk.
I was sure you would applaud it and say Boruch Hashem.
I listened to Rabbi Shmuel Bloom shlit’a interview and he was clear that Harav Ruderman Zatzsal was emphatic and stressed multiple times that the abortion law must include protection for the Mother’s life.
In Idaho, the republican party platform adopted at the Twin Falls convention includes the language that there is NO EXCEPTION FOR THE LIFE OF THE MOTHER.
They VOTED to specifically include the language.
By a nearly FOUR-TO-ONE margin, they REJECTED an amendment to the party platform on Saturday that would have provided an exception for a mother who has an abortion to safe her life.
Aizehu Hachacham – Haroeh es Hanolad.
