Abortion

The question of under what circumstances abortion should be allowed, or regulated,
is a complex and difficult one, balancing the interests of
the potential mother,
the future human being she is carrying,
and of the larger society.
I can see the argument for at least early abortion,
as well as the argument against it.
This is an issue on which I do not feel I have sufficient wisdom
to have a useful or well-founded opinion.

Nonetheless, here is an article on an interesting aspect of this issue:

points out the hypocrisy of American Jews
who simultaneously are staunch supporters of abortion in America
but also support anti-abortion organizations in Israel
