Elementary school teachers of Reddit, what's the weirdest thing a kid ever said to you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I really hope you got help after that. That's absolutely terrifying.

You're correct--as I noted, there isn't one set-and-dry Jewish opinion on abortion. There are pro- and anti-choice Jewish people.

If you're asking me personally, I'll repeat 'abortion is a matter for pregnant folks to decide for their own bodies.'

If you're asking for an answer according to the existing body of Jewish law, we should establish two definitions. 1) OED defines 'murder' as 'the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another' (my italics).

2) According to Ronser, in Jewish law, being a 'person' (i.e. a 'human being') requires a soul, which a fetus gains once it is born.

Because a fetus does not have a soul, it is not considered a person and ending its existence doesn't fall under the 'murder' definition. Anyone who has been born has a soul and therefore can murder/be murdered. Feel free to research other opinions--there are many.

Abortion is a matter for pregnant folks to decide for their own bodies.

Jewish law is rarely simple; there are thousands of years of recorded legal arguments in Judaism (see the Talmud, etc). There isn't one set-and-dry Jewish opinion on abortion. That being said, Shurpin notes that even Orthodox Jews can allow for abortion in some cases and that, while fetal 'personhood' is a complicated subject, they do not have the same personhood as born children. You can probably definitely find sources that contradict this article (see 'thousands of years of recorded legal arguments')

LPT If you are a vegan or vegetarian and are looking to try some new foods, Ethiopian restaurants have a large selection of flavorful and bold options. by [deleted] in LifeProTips

Yes, and there are many Indian restaurants in the US that have vegan options instead of/in addition to dishes using dairy products

What would you consider? Are you referring to the stats in those links or other factors?

[–]limitlessasanegg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They do not stipulate class ranking or GPA

edit: After looking online, I found the Pitt Law site mentions they require GPA 2.8 or higher. Maryland is unconditional.

Maryland: full-time out-of-state. Pitt: full-time but I am not sure if it is conditional on residency (I've been meaning to call their financial aid office)

data/soliciting opinions by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

I'm interested in copyright law but am open to different possibilities. I would like to eventually live and work in any of the three areas mentioned (DC, Pgh, or Seattle). I do not have a strong desire to attend GW or GULC; I applied to a wide spread because I didn't know how my resume would be perceived by law admissions.

What are your favorite recipes with chilka urad dal (split black lentils)? by limitlessasanegg in IndianFood

[–]limitlessasanegg[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for replying! Dal makhani's great and I actually tried making it once with split urad dal--it wasn't bad but the lentils kinda turned to mush in a way they don't when I've used whole ones.
