[Avodah] abortion

[Eli Turkel]

moved from Areivim: discussion (again) about the prohibition of abortion

Zev said
<<It's certainly retzicha for Bnei Noach, and it makes no sense for the
same act to be retzicha when done by one person and not-retzicha when
done by another.>>

It may not make sense to Zeev but the Ramban (nidah 41a), Yad Ramah
(Sanhedrin 57b), Radvaz (vol 2 #695), Drisha EH 13:4, Sma CM 425:8,
Sridei Esh  (vol
3:127) and many others
see also Tosafot Sotah 26a all disagree and say abortion is not
retzicha (courtesy of Encylopedia Hilchatit Refuit by Dr. Steinberg)
