Although their main agen- da is to support Hadassah Hospital and youth aliyah, Hadassah is nationally on record supporting women's right to reproductive freedom, Breiner said. However, she pointed out, "this is not N.O.W. (National Organization For Women). If one comes on too heavy (with certain issues) people say this is not what this organization is about." Breiner views the current debate as a right to vote issue. "My feeling is that even if you don't agree with it, people should be able to vote on it." Schey believes that a ma- jority in Michigan opposes thr., ban and would vote to restore medacaid abortions. Without such a vote "you have a minority group holding a minority belief and attempting to impose it on the entire state." Schey cited the precedent that in "eleven states which conducted refrenda where choice or no choice was on the ballot, the majority of voters gave women the right of choice." But placing the issue on the ballot does not guarantee reversal of the legislation. Rabbi Meilech Silberberg of Bais Chabad of West Bloom- field who was "elated that they passed the law," said, "I think if it's on the ballot they are going to have a big defeat." He attributed this belief to what he sees as a religious revival in America. Opponents of the law call it unfair for several reasons. It makes no allowances except to save the life of the mother. No stipulations exist for vic- tims of rape and incest, women with serious health problems or carriers of a fatal disease such as AIDS. Addi- tionally, it amounts to economic discrimination, Schey said. "It is unfair to deny women the right to make a choice based on economic reasons." In contrast, Rabbi Silberberg sees no such discrimination. "The fact that the rich can do it should not be license for the poor. The wealthy can (also) afford to get cocaine." Schey sees the law as the first step in the "Right To Life" movement's ultimate agenda of denying reproduc- tive choice to all women and to reverse the 1973 Roe vs. Wade Supreme Court deci- sion legalizing abortion. "The folks who launched the in- itiative want to start with the poor, the weak, the vunerable," she said. Rabbi Silberberg said, "The issue here is not an issue of what's more logical. Maimonides tells us in no uncertain terms that it's murder. The Torah gives us an absolute system of morali- ty. It's immoral because God has said it's immoral." However, Rabbi Lane Ste- inger of Temple Emanu-El in Oak Park, a member of the Michigan Religious Coalition For Abortion Rights, says Jewish law allows room for discussion. With the excep- tions of murder, sexual im- propriety, and idolatry, he "It is unfair to deny women the right to make a choice based on economic reasons." said "there can be two broad positions: Machmir and Mekil." In the case of abortion, Ste- inger said, the strict inter- pretation, Machmir, would dictate that it is "only per- missible if the woman's physical existence is in ques- tion." The lenient interpreta- tion, Mekil, would permit abortion for the sake of the woman's physical and emo- tional well-being. Rabbi Steinger said Reform Judaism's position holds that "a woman and her physician are the best authorities regar- ding what's good for her." Soviet Jews Continued from Page 1 ticipation of increased im- migration. That allocation was based on a projected 40 Soviet arrivals. Due to the upward projection, Lerner has requested extra budgeting from Federation. The Federation's Community Services Division has not begun deliberations on the re- quest, one Federation source said. "We're not likely to find ourselves inundated," he said. The new wave of immigra- tion will differ from the last wave in the late 1970s, which brought over 2,000 Soviet Jews to Detroit. Most of those Jews had no family in the are/ By contrast, the Jews expected to arrive now have family in the area, a factor ex- pected to aid their absorption. Jewish Family Service seeks volunteers to assist as translators and drivers, Lerner emphasized.
