In Nissan Ratzlav-Katz's report for Arutz Sheva (Israel National News) about the Super Tuesday primaries and how they're impacted by the the American Jewish vote, he describes the strong denunciation of moral liberalism made by long-time pro-life activist, Yehuda Levin....Rabbi Yehuda Levin, spokesman for the Union of Orthodox Rabbis of the US and Canada (UOR), also known as Agudas HaRabbanim, issued a video statement Monday in which he called for Jewish Americans to avoid voting for a candidate "whose position is in any way antithetical to our Torah based morality."
Specifically, Rabbi Levin said, "Candidates who support abortion on demand, the toeiva agenda, liberal attitudes towards pornography of any sort - are antithetical to our way of life and it is forbidden to support or vote for them." The "toeiva agenda" is generally understood among religious Jews to refer to the homosexual lobby's legislative and social causes.
Adopting an uncompromising position, the UOR head advised, "If one has to vote in an election or primary where both candidates are anti-Biblical family values, G-d forbid.... let the voter cast a write-in protest vote, but do not compromise by voting for the 'lesser evil.' If we value the purity and holiness of our children and grandchildren, we dare not compromise."
Rabbi Levin expressed the hope that "our fellow citizens of all faiths, and their leaders, will draw a line in the sand and institute policies forbidding voting for anti-traditional family values candidates. We are confident that were this policy instituted, within one or two election cycles, we would find many more pro-family candidates on every level of government."...
