10@9 The Cloud Over Fertility Treatments in the US - April 11, 2024
from Mining The Riches Of The Parsha · host Rabbi Michael Whitman
This morning we analyze the recent Alabama court ruling and legislation that led to the major providers of fertility treatments there closing their doors. We discuss how I predicted this when Roe v. Wade was overturned, that women who want a baby and need fertility treatment, may not be able to do so. We trace the faulty legal reasoning and bad policy that, sadly, could spread in the US (and perhaps elsewhere - who knows?). In commemoration of Yesh Tikva Infertility Awareness Weekend, we warn of the need to advocate for and support fertility treatment to be legal and accessible for everyone who wants/needs it. Michael Whitman is the senior rabbi of ADATH Congregation in Hampstead, Quebec, and an adjunct professor at McGill University Faculty of Law. ADATH is a modern orthodox synagogue community in suburban Montreal, providing Judaism for the next generation. We take great pleasure in welcoming everyone with a warm smile, while sharing inspiration through prayer, study, and friendship. Rabbi Whitman shares his thoughts and inspirations through online lectures and shiurim, which are available on: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5FLcsC6xz5TmkirT1qObkA Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adathmichael/ Podcast - Mining the Riches of the Parsha: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/mining-the-riches-of-the-parsha/id1479615142?fbclid=IwAR1c6YygRR6pvAKFvEmMGCcs0Y6hpmK8tXzPinbum8drqw2zLIo7c9SR-jc Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3hWYhCG5GR8zygw4ZNsSmO Please contact Rabbi Whitman ([email protected]) with any questions or feedback, or to receive a daily email, "Study with Rabbi Whitman Today," with current and past insights for that day, video, and audio, all in one short email sent directly to your inbox.
