Here is Joseph’s 3rd option as you present it
“3. Ban abortions with exceptions for the life of the mother, including psychological factors”
the problem is who decides what constitutes danger to life of the mother? Especially regarding “psychological factors”?

I offer some choices to the question. Feel free to pick. (Joseph claims he answered but I cnat find where)
“so what makes option 3 worse than 1 in your mind?”
Because my number one priority is frum people. So a frum personj by definition will not get an abortion stam azoy. As for the general public that is veryvery low on my prioritiy list. Especialy when banning them would not even decrease them!
“To play your game, if you were forced to choose between options 1 and 3, which would you choose?”
I’m not sure who decides in your scenaario 3. If itis an orthodx Rabbi. Tehn I choose option 3. That is exactly my position! If it is a Legislature. I still choose option 3. That is better than banning all abortions!
“supporters of option 1 would line up behind option 3, since it’s better than option 2 to them. “
Agreed. but option 2 is better than option 3 to us.
