I would like to add. The bible, despite interpretationsto the contrary, contains no explicit condemnation of abortion, and does not portray to killing of a fetus as equivalent to the killing of a human being. In Exodus 21:22-25, the crime,of causing a woman to miscarry is treated as a property crime,whereas killing the woman is considered murder and is punished with the death penalty.
Have a good day. Theo (Neandertal).
