Well, I would slightly modify what you said about "some Jewish traditions" but then it would get really complicated. But I think you did a good job of outlining how complex this issue is in a way that's respectful to different points of view but not pandering to any of them.
And to hijack this thread with the topic of immigration, I think that issue is just as hopelessly compromised by oppressive and exploitative systems as reproductive choice is. You're right to say that anyone who buys food to eat is implicated, but unless you really can grow all your own food or buy it from your neighbor, what are you gonna do?
