The Rabbis for Repro are back and just finished celebrating abortion on Shabbat. The inaugural ritual known as Repro Shabbat took place this past weekend. The usual suspects were there, including leaders from the National Organization of Jewish Women (NCJW), and Rabbis for Repro a group famous for promoting their favorite topic.
One of these rabbis, Joshua R.S. Fixler, was a proud participant in the Repro Shabbat event. His article, Opinion: Im a rabbi, and abortion is a religious right, is dead wrong.

We celebrate these actions, but there is so much more work to be done.
As Jews, we know that each human is created in the divine image.
