ment to her life would be an
accepted procedure to many if
not most Halachic
authorities.
According to all authorities,
a fetus is secondary to the life
of the mother and is aborted
when it constitutes a direct
danger to the mother's life.
This hinges as to whether
the fetus is seen as a part of
the mother, a separate but
doubtful and therefore secon-
dary subsidy, or a viable but
incomplete entity only to be
removed when pursuing the
mother's life.
Those who claim that life
begins in the womb are only
partially right. Those who
claim that life begins at birth
are again only partially right.
The fetus is an emerging
and developing entity both in
life and in legal description.
Either definition taken by
itself would constitute an in-
fringement on the rights of
the mother's life or that of the
child.
The wanton abuse of defin-
ing the child in either fashion
is reprehensible.
However the proliferation of
abortion for reasons other
than aforementioned con-
stitute a form of destruction
of life which is reprehensible
at the very least and at worst
one step below homicide.
