Major Rabbi That Pope Francis Appointed To The Pontifical Academy For Life Declares ‘The Bible Says You Can Murder Unborn Babies Conceived From Rape Or With Disabilities Because They Are Not Fully Human’

Rabbi Dr. Fishel Szlajen was appointed by Pope Francis to and made a full member of the Pontifical Academy for Life last year. In a recent statement, the Rabbi has come out and said that children who are conceived from rape or who have serious disabilities should be put to death because they are not fully human:

Rabbi Dr Fishel Szlajen, who sits on the Vatican’s Pontifical Academy for Life, has said scripture justifies abortion in cases of rape, or if the unborn child has serious disabilities.

In a largely pro-life article posted on Spanish-language site InfoBae, Dr Szlajen condemns abortion on demand, describing it as a crime that has been turned into a right. “‘The right to decide what to do with one’s own body’” manipulates and intentionally obscures the fact that we are dealing with “two distinct humans” he said.

However, he goes on to say that there is a case where scripture justifies killing the “conceptus” (the embryo in utero).

“In only one case does the Bible call for abortion: when the life of the conceptus inexorably threatens that of its mother,” he said. In such cases, the life of the mother takes priority.

Dr Szlajen justifies this position by citing the Jewish law of the “rodef”, which allows people in certain circumstances to kill someone who is endangering the lives of others.

Cases of anencephaly, irreversible degenerative pathologies and terminal disease where the “conceptus” will certainly die are examples of ‘tzorech gadol’ (grave necessity) where “abortion is permitted with severe restrictions”.

The same goes for a woman who has become pregnant through rape, and for whom continuing the pregnancy would result in “serious pschophysical danger”.

Jewish scholars have debated the “rodef” law for centuries. Some have used it to justify killing politicians or even voters they see as endangering the Jewish people. The most notorious example in recent years was Yigal Amir, who assassinated former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin due to concessions made to the Palestinian Authority in the Oslo Accord.

Others dispute this interpretation of the law, saying it only applies when the threat to life is imminent and when the threat is spontaneous.

Dr Szlajen is not the only member of the academy to back abortion in certain circumstances.

Before he was appointed, Professor Nigel Biggar said abortion was permissible before 18 weeks, adding: “It’s not clear that a human foetus is the same kind of thing as an adult.”

Another member of the academy, Rabbi Avraham Steinberg said the unborn child has “no human status” before 40 days. After 40 days, it has “a certain status of a human being, not full status”. (source)

Catholic teaching about abortion is very clear- life begins at conception, and to willingly take means to end that life is a form of murder, which is what the rabbi is supporting.

The argument he gives- that to support abortion “in cases of rape or deformity”- are the same reasons that the supporters of infanticide have given for years as to permit for the legalization of abortion which inevitably becomes a form of birth control. This argument has been used before, and it has nothing to do with the actual good of the mother, because it has been consistently shown that most abortions are done for the sake of convenience.

Even if a woman was raped or there was a “deformity” in the child, the fact is that murder is still murder, and one does not fight evil by embracing a worse form of it. A “rape baby” is as much a human being as is one who has birth defects as is one who has no real problems or perceived problems. As the Bible notes, a man’s humanity comes from his creation in the image and likeness of God, and as such what God has made and made in His image must be protected.

It is particularly monstrous to speak of killing children with “deformities”, especially coming from a Jew, because this is exactly what Jews have persistently reminded of what happened to them not even a century ago. It was in the name of ethnonationalist paganism that Poles, Russians, Jews, and countless other people across Europe suffered and died in terrible ways, because they were labeled as “unfit” or “deformed” and so were put to death or experimented on like animals because that is how the German government saw them.

But evil such as this, that denies the human dignity of men is not limited just to Germany, Germans, the Second World War, or men who dress a certain way. The principle is what matters, for it was through darwinism and eugenics that Germany and Japan embraced the conclusions they did, and those who embrace the same ideas will find themselves inevitably in the same situation as they did.

As we have written about at Shoebat.com, there is an unholy union between the abortion industry, the pro-life movement, and the rise of a new eugenics. In short, the abortion industry is federally subsidized by the US government but also many governments throughout the world because it is a means of organ harvesting, which was first exposed by the Center for Medical Progress in 2015 with an investigation of Planned Parenthood. The chopped up body parts of dead babies are viewed as an important commodity for the bio-technical industry, which is in turn composed of a revolving door between the US and foreign militaries, weapons manufacturers, and billionaires advocating for transhumanism. All is oriented towards eugenics, which as we have reported is being experimented on with supertechnology in an attempt to create a “master race” of human beings:

‘Superior’ designer babies born into the upper class with genetically modified physical appearances and intelligence could be just years away, a British geneticist has warned, after scientists announced they had used gene editing to repair a mutation in human embryos.

In a world first, US researchers announced on Wednesday in the science journal Nature they had used the controversial gene editing technique, CRISPR-Cas9, to correct a mutation for a heart condition in embryos.

The technique could eventually let doctors remove inherited conditions from embryos before they go on to become a child. That, in turn, opens up the possibility of diseases like cystic fibrosis and ovarian cancer being wiped out entirely, researchers say.

…

King, who is a geneticist and molecular biologist, says only the upper echelons of society would be able to afford the expensive technology. Many will want to give their children “genetic advantages over other people’s children” and see it as an “investment” to give them “the best start in life,” he says.

“I think that in a world in which some people are regarded as genetically superior to others because they have been genetically enhanced is a radically more unequal and oppressive world than what we have now,” King says.

“I don’t think it’s unrealistic that once you’ve had a few generations of an elite being genetically enhanced and the rest of us not being, then people in the elite will not have any real interest in having children with members of the rest of the population.” (source, reported here)
