For the first time, almost every Jewish text relevant to the abortion issue is explored, providing important insights into the development of Jewish ethical principles. The conundrum takes shape: foundational verses -- Evaluating life: Rabbinic perspectives on fetal standing -- Divining a prohibition: the positions of the Rishonim and Acharonim -- No clear consensus: the sages of a rising modernity -- The struggle returns: Jewish views begin to take form -- Confronting a new reality: legislation for a Jewish state -- A Halakhic challenge: discerning Jewish abortion principles.
