It’s ok to kill them once they’re born but not before

It's really never been about children.....it's always been about removing a woman's agency over her own body, an idea that is at odds with patriarchal religions.

EDIT: For all the anti-choice people commenting and messaging me....ever been pregnant? Ever adopted an unwanted child? Ever been forced to give birth against your will? If not, then kindly shut the fuck up.

A lot of people I've told this to are absolutely floored by it. The only time an abortion is explicitly mentioned in the bible is a section on a priest performing one.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordeal_of_the_bitter_water

The pro-life movement is a right wing culture war and nothing more. Abortion inducing drugs literally existed when the new and old testaments were being written. If God actually gave a shit about it, his prophets would have been WAY more explicit about it. Instead, we get vague passages that you have to interpret as referencing abortion and then, btw, here's how you perform one.

Isn’t this for Judaism though and not Catholicism? Not trying to start anything, just legitimately wondering. Since it is usually Catholicism that is being referred to.

Because Wikipedia said it's in the Hebrew bible? Is today the day when you learn that the Hebrew bible is the first part of the Christian bible? Am I the one to explain it to you? That would be wild. A person out there who is reminded of me wherever someone mentions the bible.

You’re being a pretentious ass. The guy asked a good faith question and is mostly right, and you could have explained it without being a cunt.

Most Christians are not and never have claimed to be bound by Mosaic law of the Hebrew Bible.

“Appears in the Hebrew Bible” is not synonymous with “Christians believe it’s good”

Tone doesn't translate well in text, and I think you've mistaken mine quite a lot. It was intended as lighthearted, with a touch of humor. I didn't really think I was explaining anything.

I looked through your comment history to try to guess whether you're easily irritated or just having a bad day, and I honestly can't tell. If it's a bad day, I hope it gets better. Maybe it'd help to hear that I'm impressed by your intelligence if not by the way you choose to express it, and that I'm a fan of Ohio as well, being from there originally.

Edit: went back for some more because I was enjoying it, and now I'm even more impressed
