I find it pretty hilarious that #Christians claim to be #Prolife on christian grounds when the #bible explicity tells people that not only abortions are ok, but actively tells you that you SHOULD have abortions (under certain circumstances).
Dont take my word for it, the bible is pretty clear about this.
> If she has made herself impure and been unfaithful to her husband, this will be the result: When she is made to drink the water that brings a curse and causes bitter suffering, it will enter her, her abdomen will swell and her womb will miscarry, and she will become a curse. -- Numbers 5:24-27
also not quite as direct but still pretty damn suggestive:
> Cursed be the day on which I was born! … Cursed be the man who … did not kill me in the womb. -- Jeremiah 20:14-17
and the penalty for violently hurting a woman causing a miscarriage is just a fine, but killing the woman is death, almost as if the lives arent equal...
> When people […] injure a pregnant woman so that there is a miscarriage, and yet no further harm follows, the one responsible shall be fined […]. If any harm follows, then you shall give life for life. -- Exodus 21:22-25
@freemo The Numbers 5:24-27 is interesting. It sounds like they did have an abortion potion in those days, and it was used on adulterous women.
There is also an ancient rabbinical ruling that if a woman is in danger of death in childbirth, you kill the fetus to save the mother.
Any objective i terpritation of the bible, especially with contextual and historical awareness clearly views abortion as distincly seperate from murder and less aggregious at a minimum and acceptable at most.
