    The opposite – since we can’t know HKB”H’ specific ratzon, the “discoverable principles” may not be what we think they are.

    Please respond to the rest of my comment

    That’s the part which is interesting.

    Ideally, abortion should be legal when halachically appropriate, but not when assur.

    We are unlikely to have the law written that way, so what the appropriate position for a Torah Yid to take (and the public position of our institutions) is something for our gedolim to decide.

    @yserbius, we are still waiting for a specific source.

    I noticed that when challenged, you changed from “Rav Moshe ZT”L said in his teshuvos that we should not fight RvW” to “I believe he also did not like the so called “Pro Life” movement”

    I don’t know if he did or didn’t, but that’s the kind of statement you need to back up.

    His heter was robust, but it was not on his list of shitos that made him not hold of a person who argues (the eruv and worms in the fish are on that list)

    Not robust at all. (They are visible without a black background).

    Famously, when asked about the water, he responded that he held it was muttar, but others (referring to R’ Dovid Feinstein zt”l) asserted. Interesting that you say that the fish issue was a passeling issue since R’ Dovid was machmir… The eruv issue is based on a machlokes acharonim, so on the actual shaila you can’t passel someone for being meikil, but perhaps since in NYC R’ Moshe’s psak was accepted, he felt it’s מקום שנהגו בו איסור.

    From JAMA:

    Efficacy of Ivermectin Treatment on Disease Progression Among Adults With Mild to Moderate COVID-19 and Comorbidities (The I-TECH Study)

    Key Points

    Question

    Does adding ivermectin, an inexpensive and widely available antiparasitic drug, to the standard of care reduce the risk of severe disease in patients with COVID-19 and comorbidities?

    Findings

    In this open-label randomized clinical trial of high-risk patients with COVID-19 in Malaysia, a 5-day course of oral ivermectin administered during the first week of illness did not reduce the risk of developing severe disease compared with standard of care alone.

    Meaning

    The study findings do not support the use of ivermectin for patients with COVID-19.

    You’re making a huge mistake, because if we banned driving, people would travel less and be safer.

    The reason this isn’t a simple “supply and demand” issue is because a good Jewish education is not a luxury item.

    In many countries, items such as basic food, housing, and medical care are subsidized and don’t completely fit in to the supply and demand model.

    Without more “government subsidies” (philanthropy), the schools cannot provide the superior product which we do not consider a luxury, so following the regular rules of supply and demand, which leaves the schools staffed by inexperienced and underskilled teachers.

    Obviously there are those who disagree who have the stature to do so. But I suspect that none of them comment in the YWN comment fields.

    Perhaps not, but we heard it from people who most definitely did have the stature to not only disagree, but declare, as Avira said, that he wasn’t merely wrong; his opinion was based on foreign influence.

    And you don’t have the stature to disagree with them either…

    but you seem to be more interested in a hypothetical crazt flight attendant rather than in typical cases.

    I’m just responding to the hypothetical case Avram mentioned.

    You decided she’s a rasha or deranged. Maybe she’s just in a bad mood and/or thinks it’s rude that he won’t respond? It’s just a hypothetical story anyhow.

    If you are suggesting a Zeresh character

    The story didn’t say she was a Zeresh character or deranged. There would presumably not be a way to know

    The story didn’t describe any trace of an inappropriate action on the part of the frum couple. Why you inserted that is quite curious and perhaps informative.

    Why can’t you don’t answer that in the story as presented, he made no chillul Hashem?

    As Avira and Shimon pointed out, if someone is following the halacha properly, it a kiddush Hashem, not a chillul Hashem.

    Halacha takes into consideration not to disturb people, etc, so TS Baum is totally missing the point when saying keeping the halacha can be a c”H.

    The fact that AAQ can’t answer Avram’s question in a direct manner demonstrates that some people conflate kiddush Hashem with making goyim happy and/or not doing anything to embarrass frum Jews.

    Although those frequently correlate, they are not synonymous, and if there is a conflict, following the halacha is ultimately the kiddush Hashem even if it looks strange and/or angers goyim, and violating Halacha is a chillul Hashem even if it seems to curry favor with goyim.
