Oh, for the love of Pete.

Okay, I am not a news junkie - nor am I an expert on anything other than being only minimally overscheduled. I just really need to vent here. Bit of a tantrum - sorry in advance.

It all started a couple of years ago, when my hubby, kids and I were visiting my sister and her fam over Spring Break. Okay, wait...it started a couple of weeks before that - when my awesome friend, Mitch, was reeling from disbelief that I'd never seen the movie, "The Ten Commandments." The one with the NRA enthusiast and the King of Siam? Correctly deducing that this meant I was a horrible Jew and had not actively been passing on critical knowledge (not to mention that great movie) to my children he launched into an interrogation consisting of questions like, "Does Emma know what the word 'kosher' means?" and "Does Nicky know how to spell Chanukkah?" or questions of that nature. (By the way...no, and no.) I said, "Oy, leave me alone, already!" and he backed off.

Full disclosure - I did not take this picture, nor do I know who did. I don't know if it's new, or if it's been around for a while. I don't even know if this is an argument any actual thinking human being is attempting to make, or if this guy is being filmed as an extra on a movie set. Either way, it's going around fb as an anti-choice statement by people I DO know - AND LIKE - and I felt like responding. :)

Perfect!!! I thought of this last year as a way to describe my religious life/beliefs, such as they are. Jew-ish. “Ish!” It’s right there in the name! I’m a Jew. Ish. Kinda in the middle – sorta…

That helped me crystallize some of the ways in which I am a full-fledged Jew, and ways in which I am kinda, sorta – you know, Jew-ish. Hope you don’t mind my sharing.

I could tell you I was raped. (I wasn’t.) I could tell you I am a victim of incest. (I’m not.) I could tell you my life would be in danger if I got pregnant. (Partly true, but for this discussion, let’s say not.) I could tell you I’m mentally challenged or ill. (I don’t think so, but let's please not open THAT up to debate...) These are some of the scenarios even the most ardent advocates in the Pro-Life movement might allow themselves and those they love flexibility where safe and legal abortion is concerned. Might.
