I’d like to explain for any goyim or Jews who aren’t well-versed in Halacha: Niddah is a time period around the menstruation period, during which a person has the status of being ritually impure. During that time, they cannot do certain things that require ritual purity. If someone touches them then this status is passed on. To be ritually pure again, a person must visit a mikveh, a ritual bath.
Because of the complex nature of Jewish law related to menstruation and conception, hormonal birth control is allowed, even by the more strict interpretations of Halacha. Generally, observant Jews don’t use barrier methods.
It is also required to prioritize the life of a pregnant person over the life of a fetus if a conflict between the two should arise.
Yet another reminder that when these people talk about birth control and abortion in reference to religious freedom, they mean Christian freedom. They don’t give a shit about anyone else.
As was brought up when I saw this on Facebook, Judaism might require birth control in some circumstances. Like for me, where I would die if I was forced to carry another pregnancy to term. My actual life comes first.
On this and ALL OTHER issues, they really, REALLY only mean Xtian freedom, except when they can mayyyybe coopt a very specific branch of some other tradition that conveniently holds the same as they do on this specific issue, in order to wave that tradition in front of everyone like a flag to go “see look it’s not just us YOU’RE ALL PREJUDICED AGAINST [whoever they’re using as their smoke-screen this time]!”
They will, of course, later abandon this connection the minute that group happens to want, need or believe something that is contrary to their perspective, without any irony, because religious freedom really only matters for them.
