Shmuel Eliyahu, a notable Zionist rabbi, made a case in defense of the US supreme court's decision to undo Roe vs. Wade:

A prominent Israeli Religious Zionist rabbi defended the US Supreme Court’s ruling overturning Roe v. Wade last Friday, and castigated pro-choice advocates for imposing “backwards” views on modern society.

Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu, the chief rabbi of Tzfat (Safed), penned an opinion piece published Tuesday morning backing the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision Friday, and assailing abortion as “primitive”.

[...] “Don’t listen to these ‘enlightened’ people, who want to take us back two thousand years, to the dark ages of Rome and Greece – you have the right to believe that life is sacred and murder is backward. You have the right to say openly that life is more important that a vacation in the US, a new car, or master’s degree. You have the right to believe that murdering a fetus is primitive and backward, not advanced or enlightened.”

And he's right. It's stunning how even the Reform sect is opposing the court's decision, while some Orthodox movements by contrast are wisely upholding it. What everybody should really be encouraging is adoption, not abortion. A real shame this is what the world's come to these days.
