Bull****, Harry. Lessee, in a class I took on world religions years back,
we
had an Orthodox Jewish rabbi in while we were reading up on Judiaism. He
had no problem with abortion, and referred to an incident in the OT where
I
think a pregnant woman was hurt or killed, and the fetus definitely gone.
The settlement was a minor *property* settlement for the fetus, but a lot
more for the woman. The rabbi's interpretation was that society has a
*LOT*
invested in a woman of childbearing years, but nothing at all in a fetus.
