Today in <em>Tablet Magazine</em>, Liel Leibovitz posits that the political discourse surrounding women&#8217;s reproductive rights would benefit from the nuanced teachings of Judaism on the subject. After all, when it comes to birth control, he argues, we&#8217;re all Jews. </p>
<p>Leibovitz <a href="http://www.tabletmag.com/jewish-life-and-religion/92435/tablets/">writes</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>This is where reading the rabbis is a real pleasure. It takes just a few lines of the Rambam on the subject of contraception to realize that the man wasn’t only a terrific doctor but also a lover who’d given the mechanics of intercourse a great deal of thought. And he’s hardly alone: Throughout the ages, talk abides of vaginal canals and cervixes, of pregnancy and lactation, of women’s health and women’s rights. It’s a far more formidable, nuanced, and humane approach than the blunt insistence of many on the contemporary American right that the only Godly answer when it comes to contraception is “no.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Amen.</p>
