43. Does Abortion Have A Place In Judaism? w/ Reb. Avital Chizhik Goldschmidt

Avital Chizik Goldschmidt, a journalist and Rebbitzen, talks about her up-close encounters with religious Jewish women who faced the difficult decision of having an abortion. In addition to the pain of undergoing an abortion, she talks about the isolation that they feel due to the popular misconception among Jews and often the politicization of abortion being prohibited in Judaism.  Avital's Instagram: @avitalrachel Read Avital's article, " 'My dark secret': Orthodox women reveal their abortion stories"   Sign up for Nishmat's Health and Halacha Virtual Conference here.
