Reproductive Freedom

Take Action to Restore Reproductive Rights in Florida

Recently it was announced that a statewide coalition of organizations, led by Planned Parenthood but including Reform synagogues and the Religious Action Center-Florida (RAC-FL), the ACLU, National Council of Jewish Women and other interfaith organizations are leading an effort to limit government interference with abortion. This would be done by passing a ballot initiative during the election in November 2024. To learn more about this, you can read this news article.

Temple Beth El is proud to be participating in this effort, which will require the collection of nearly 1,000,000 signatures from registered voters around the state.

We Need Volunteers!

Volunteer to help us collect signatures at Shabbat Evening Services, Religious School events, or Early Learning Center events!

“Jewish tradition, however, is very clear that if carrying a fetus threatens the health of the mother, then it is our obligation to terminate that pregnancy to save the mother’s life. And that threat is not necessarily limited to the physical health of the mother but also concerns her mental health.”
