I was wondering.

In the abortion debate in Wyoming, one of the plaintiffs has asserted that Judaism mandates abortion in some circumstances.

That struck me as flat out absurd, and a local Jewish figure did publish an article flatly rejecting that.  It keeps coming up, however.

Judaism has lacked, since the destruction of the Temple in AD 70, a central religious body, so perhaps more than any other major religion, it relies extremely heavily on conveyed tradition.  Islam, FWIW, tends to as well.  Interestingly, the body that split away from Judaism around AD30, but which remained mixed within it at the time, Catholicism, retains a highly central organization the way that Judaism did at the time of its founding.  

Anyhow, it's interesting to see what actual orthodox (small o) Jews think of this effort.  An article in Newsweek let's us know.  It's entitled:

Judaism's Stance on Gender Is Clear, Despite Attempts To Rewrite Torah | Opinion

Well worth reading.

The takeaway?  Judaism doesn't sanction abortion.  People who claim otherwise, really, are trying to co opt the religion.
