Jewish Women Rally For Choice
Thousands of Jewish women joined hundreds of thousands of American women — and a smattering of men — rallying for abortion rights at the National Mall.
“As Jews, we know what it means to have fundamental rights and liberties stripped away,” Marsha Atkind, president of the National Council of Jewish Women, told the overflow crowd. “And today, one of our most basic rights, our right to reproductive freedom, is under attack in courtrooms and legislatures across the country.”
When she says “reproductive freedom” what she means is the “freedom” not to worry about whether a fetus is a life, and whether killing it is murder.
