Never going to forget this:
When I was doing my post-Rabbinical ordination in a Hasidic school, there was a woman who was told SHE IS REQUIRED by Jewish law to have a 3rd trimester abortion/induce labor (with almost no chance of fetus survival).
Many states now outlaw it.

The Rebbe's response: if the doctors say >

We don't need religious, or any, justification for a pregnant person to have control over their bodies. It's just good to remember that for some, acceas to #Abortion is religious freedom.
