  1. ok...I'm new at this so be kind. (I am a conservative Jew, and thought someone would find this helpful) Exodus 21-22 says: When men fight, and one of them pushes a pregnant woman and a miscarriage results, but no other damage ensuse, the one responsible shall be fined according as the woman's husband may exact from him, the payment to be based on reckoning. "Other damage to the woman. Based on reckoning : perhaps reckoning the age of the fetus, but both this translation and the alternative"as the judges determine" are questionable. Halakhic exegesis infers that, since the punishment is monetary rather than execution, the unborn fetus is not considered a living person and feticide is not murder; hence abortion is permitted when necessary to save the mother." quoted from "The Jewish Study Bible" Traditionally, when the head of the newborn has completly emerged from the birth canal, Jewish law considers it to have status of a full human being. Jewish law insist apon abortion if the mother's life is endangered under the doctrine of pikuakh nefesh, saving a life. Many Rabbi's have extended this to to take into account the psycholgical damage a woman could suffer if giving birth to a severly deformed child. Please do not take this to mean that Jews "approve" of abortion, the argument that is a woman's right to control her own body does not apply as Jewish tradition states our bodies are on "bailment" from G-d, and should be treated as a temple. So "unwanted" or "accidental" pregnancies should not occur.

  8. Point of intrest it is mention in midrashim and kabbalistic works that Lilith was in fact Adam's first wife, she is concidered to be the mother of all demons. She wanted to be concidered Adam's equal if not superior and when she insited on being on top during sex she was replaced by the more submissive Eve. ****This is not part of the Talmud, nor is it considered to be a midrash****** Many of the famous people who have decied Judaism and the study of the Kabbalah have tried to reinvent her and use her as a symbol of femine power, a number of female musical artists participated in a concert tour called "Lilith Fair" Sara McLachlan formed the festivile after becoming annoyed at the mistreatment of women in the music industry.
