Morarach, you didn’t address the substance of my comments. It may sound fine if they outlaw abortion but allow it if the mother’s life is in danger. But that interferes with the practice of our religion, for two reasons. First, in at least some cases the doctor will think the mother’s life is not in danger, or not in enough danger, but the rabbi looking at the same situation may say she is enough danger for the abortion to be not only permitted but required. So there would be situations where halacha, as interpreted by a rabbi, would mandate an abortion, but it would be illegal. And if the rabbis are right, women could die. For this very reason, Rabbi Moshe Feinstein opposed pro-life legislation, even though he was very much against abortion. Second, if you follow the Tzitz Eliezer, it is halachically permissible to abort a fetus with certain abnormalities or conditions. In both ways, pro-life laws would interfere with our freedom of religion.
It’s not true that Romney is for the Torah and Obama is against it. I can only think of two ways in which Obama’s positions are contrary to the Torah. First, toevah marriage, but unlike in the abortion case, that doesn’t interfere with freedom of religion. Second, he disapproves of Jews living or building in East Jerusalem. For the latter reason I’ll never vote for him. So I’m not voting at all!
