All recent years in the United States have been marked by radicalization and polarization of value and political positions. Preparations for the Supreme Court decision to repeal the 1973 Row v. Wade permit have raised tensions in the United States.
Now it's erupting.
Articles have been written that already speak of an internal split beyond political and value disputes;
These are already two nations living in the same territory.
Israel needs to look west to Washington at some point, and regardless of the Supreme Court ruling, it must outright reject the importation of disputes in the heart of the United States in order to create internal polarization in Jerusalem. The Israeli finds in them ways of healthy pragmatism that regulates problems, contradictions and tensions on the basis of concern for individual cases and out of consideration for society.On the other hand, although in Israel the issue of abortion is relatively liberal, the consensus around family values is maintained.
Already yesterday, voices were heard trying to divide our public around the decision in America to "dark factors" in the face of enlightened forces.
Behind the considerations revealed in the media, are already smelling the line set by strategists ahead of the election.
The left will try to intimidate from far-right elements who are bringing the state of halakhah to our doorstep.
This is despite the fact that on a value issue such as surrogacy, the religious right and the extreme left cooperate;
LGBT communities and holy communities walk together in a path that a moral black flag hovers over: enslaving women to the status of less fertile.
The religious want more children in Israel, while the extremist liberals want to keep mothers and women out of the family and raising children.
It's better to eliminate this competition.
Many temporary arrangements are preferable.
Such as are not derived in court.

And here comes the most difficult constitutional issue.
In the United States, the bastion of liberal democracy, it suddenly becomes clear that the public's attitude to the judiciary in the regime is derived from its satisfaction with its rulings. Judges persecuted and threatened with murder In Israel, any activist can talk about aliyah with D-9 on the Mishkan in the heart of Jerusalem, but will immediately stick his nose in the cholent; in the United States, the most respected newspapers raise questions about the need for a Supreme Court institution.
The name of the distance between "said" and "did" is very short.
The lesson for our Supreme Court is simple: to expand public confidence and avoid the strong tendency of recent years to rule on every issue. The court is a place without compromise, and the world suffers from a lack of compromise.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
