San Francisco: It is rather incredible that a law that would override decisions by the Israeli Supreme Court based on a majority vote by the ruling coalition could be so close to passing.

Brick, N.J.: In the minds of millions, the Republican Party’s professed opposition to legal abortion makes the party morally great. Virtually all Roman Catholic bishops vote Republican and command their subjects to do the same by forbidding the faithful to vote for any candidate that voices a pro-choice stance. The Republican Party enjoys the support of a huge majority of evangelicals. So it must be God’s party, right? Not necessarily!

Manhattan: Cynthia Fisher is correct that hospital prices are a vexing issue (“Show the real prices of NYC hospitals,” op-ed, Sept. 27), but why?

Manhattan: It’s Black Maternal Health Week, when all across the country, people are raising their voices and taking action to support the health of Black women, who are three to four times more likely to die in childbirth compared to their white counterparts, according to the CDC.
