Political "liberalism" is simply immoral and the antethesis of Torah and G-d ordained purity. the Left supports (and abuses others who don't) homosexuality, abortion on DEMAND, radical socialism aka dictatorship and its host of evils, militant feminism which has severly damaged the family, men, children AND women and promiscuity of all forms that are condemned in BOTH Torah and Talmud not to mention most of our traditions. The emphasis on the "poor" and justice is what ALL dictatorships (which are false messiah's) have used to force their oppressive systems on humanity...historically-foremost on us Jews. Also your rationalization that somehow abortion on demand is wise due to "back alley abortion" is a long disproven myth. Such exaggeration and morbid rationalization aka lying to one's self ruins the mind needed to study Torah and HaShem's logic on the universe he invented. You don't dump your children "cause you feel like it and get His approval. as for rape, incest, etc..this is NOT part of the abortion issue. They're separate issues like war as opposed to murder. Like every evil they did exist but it's wishful hype to believe it was even close the obsession that the Marxists blathered about since the 60's. To be "observant" is also to be morally sound and intellectually honest. Not only going through the rituals. The beginning of honest worship is honesty itself, to want good love G-d and people. Political liberalism is simply a cover and semantic smokescreen for the very mentality that created Shoah and the gulags...Pesach was/is HaShems condemnation of Totalitarian government and its abuse of all Mankind. His salvation of us should be a warning to those that support a "pharaoh-ish" type political systems and those currently under it. Know your enemies and you'll save your friends...be merciful to the cruel and you're being cruel to the merciful
