PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE LIEBERMAN CONDEMNED FOR PRO-ABORTION VIEWS BY FELLOW JEWS
WASHINGTON, January 14, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Democratic Sen. Joe Lieberman announced Monday that he was in the race for the Democratic nomination for president. Despite being the highest pro-file Jewish candidate to run for President, Lieberman faces opposition from Jewish religious leaders for his rabidly pro-abortion and anti-family stands.
During Lieberman's 2000 Vice-Presidential run, Rabbi Isaac Levy, chairman of Jews for Morality, warned fellow Orthodox Jews that "Lieberman's voting record on Infanticide, Pornography, and "Gay-Rights" is a disgrace to the Orthodox Jewish community."
Rabbi Levy pointed out that on abortion and infanticide, "Joseph Lieberman supports abortion at any stage of pregnancy, even while the baby is already being born ('partial-birth abortion'). He voted to oppose the bill (H.R.1833) that would have outlawed this barbarous procedure. All Orthodox Jewish authorities on halacha (Jewish law) agree that 'partial-birth abortion' is murder." Regarding pornography, "Lieberman voted to oppose the Communication Decency Act (S.652) that sought to protect children from Internet pornography, while supporting the National Endowment for the Humanities, a group that funds sacrilegious pornography."
Lieberman is also a favourite of homosexual activists. "Lieberman voted for the ENDA Act (S.2056), a bill which adds homosexuals to the group of minorities who are entitled to special affirmative-action privileges. He also voted for the Hate Crimes Act, a bill that would give to homosexuals special protections that are not granted to citizens in general," said Levy.
