- It says in the Torah: (and will not be in your country is not a woman who is aborting and not a poor woman).
- The greatest emphasis in preventing abortion in Judaism is to consider the fetus as a living creature.
- But in Talmudic sources it is not agreed upon and unclear in this regard, for example, RACHI asserts that the fetus is not necessarily a living creature (Un fttus n'est pas nécessairement un être humain).
- The Talmud calls for the fetus to be regarded as the seed of human life and hence prevent its elimination.
- while the Talmud also confirms that the fetus is not formed until after the passage of 40 days of pregnancy.
- Less than 40 days of pregnancy is actually less severe.
- Jewish laws are passed on the grounds that the fetus if it poses a threat to the life of the pregnant mother may abortion.
- With a difference in the limits of this threat to the mother says La mishna explicitly that the fetus must be sacrificed to the mother because the mother's life has precedence over the unborn baby.
- Accordingly, various Jewish clerics authorize abortion in the event of a threat to the mother's life, but some allow abortion in the event of deterioration of the mother's health and psychological state.
In general, with the exception of the religious leader Waldenberf, the Jewish religious authorities do not recognize the fetal malformations as a reason for stopping the pregnancy. Monk Posseq Moshe feiustein forbade medical examinations of prenatal fetuses, which parents may use as a pretext to seek permission for abortion.
- He wrote: These recent years have seen a large number of abortions, which prohibits doctors who respect the Torah from participating in any abortion in any way, whether the mother is Jewish or non-Jewish, because contraception is a universal ban and applied to Jews and non-Jews.
- However, the monk Shaut israeli has permitted some abortions in case of fetal disease.
