      In the months leading up to the U.S. Supreme Court overturning of Roe vs. Wade, pro-choice Jewish advocates claimed that “abortion bans are against our religion." At the 2nd Annual Distinguished Lecture in Judaic Studies talk hosted by the George Mason University Religious Studies Department, Michal Raucher will examine what that statement means, what it’s trying to do, and how it fails to fully capture the Jewish communal conversation around abortion. Drawing on the lived experiences of Jewish women who have had abortions, she offers a new vision of what Jewish pro-choice activism could look like.
