PROTECT ABORTION RIGHTS BY JOINING:
Jewish Alliance for Law and Social Action, the Reform Movement's Every
Voice, Every Vote Campaign,Hadassah, The Women’s Zionist Organization of America andthe Jewish Abortion Access Coalition
Our Jewish values affirm that abortion is health care, and that a pregnant person should be able to decide whether to continue or terminate a pregnancy. Abortion
bans and restrictions are an affront to the human dignity Judaism cherishes, as
well as a violation of our religious freedom, because they impede our ability to
practice fully our faith’s teaching.
Yet, in our country right now, states are trying to severely limit this right, forcing pregnant people to continue pregnancies against their will, or travel to other states, or put their own lives in jeopardy waiting for their health to become endangered before being treated.
Join this Jewish community phone bank effort to protect abortion rights around the country! We first gather as Jewish community with people throughout the country
at 5:45 PM (EST), and then enter the phone banks together at 6:00 PM (EST).
