Don't Boil A Kid in Its Mother's Milk

The Law of Moses says it 3 times,    
"Don't boil a kid(a baby goat) in its mother's milk"    
(Exodus 23.19; Exodus 34.26; Deuteronomy 14.21).    
Why 3 times? For emphasis.    
Moses is telling us that this is important,    
Especially so!    
What does it mean? What is the message?    
"Mother's milk" stands for the breast    
from which it comes.    
In turn, those breasts stand for    
the reproductive system    
Of which they are a part.    
And the main part of that system is the womb.    
   
Meanwhile, the "boiling of the kid"    
is an extension of the killing of that baby goat.  
First it is killed, then boiled.    
   
Long story short,    
"Don't boil a kid in its mother's milk"    
Can be interpreted into this message:    
The mother's womb must not be used as the place of,    
Or in connection with the killing of her offspring!    
   
The life-giving womb is not to be turned    
into a place for the opposite of giving life,    
Namely the taking of it, the killing of it, - abortion.    
   
If perversion is the use of something    
For the opposite of its function,    
Then abortion equals perversion.    
   
The Jews have had the Law of Moses for maybe 3,500 years.    
They've never used this commandment as an anti-abortion text.    
They've never "wasted" it for such a trivial matter.    
Rather, they've turned it into a dietary law.    
No eating cheese with meat.    
Now that's something very important!!    
   
God meant it as an antiabortion text.    
But the Jews in their superior wisdom,    
Overruled the Almighty.    
   
George B. Shaw said, "Youth is wasted on the young."    
I say, Judaism, the Law of Moses, is wasted on the Jews.  
   
PS:Not a complete waste, of course.  
Only a very limited wasting of passages  
like Exodus 23.19; 34.26; Deuteronomy 14.21.
PPS:Paul quotes the Law of Moses(Deuteronomy 25.4),
"Don't muzzle the ox that grinds the grain."
Then he asks,Is God concerned with cattle?
Or does this apply to us?
To us, he answers(1 Corinthians 9.9-10;1 Timothy 5.18).
Likewise with the mother goat and the kid goat.
It applies to us human beings.
