This was just published in the @TimesofIsrael, thanks to Anne Gordon for encouraging me to write it.

Abortion. Everyone has an opinion, including those who will never face it. @skjask and Anne discuss why, as Orthodox Jews, we should care about American abortion policy - specifically, the potential banning & criminalization of abortion.

Question for @RashidaTlaib: do you agree with his statements? If not, what do you think was wrong? US citizens have a right to know; after all, you spoke at this rally. h/t @LahavHarkov

Want to see modern day idolatry? Look how some people treat Rashbi's grave.
