Lanky_Pomegranate530Is true. Just open the bible.
tsonfeirI was hoping this was going to be a lot of fun to read, but the entire story has little or nothing to do with abortion. And while I suppose if you want to interpret it like that, you could, but that’s a bit hypocritical.
It is, however, I really good example of how the Bible says it’s OK to torture women
You expected any talk about abortion to be fun? Whether an abortion is no one’s business but the woman’s, I can’t imagine fun could come anywhere near the experience.
Also, the whole section (not just 21) is a step-by-step guide which results in aborting a baby conceived in an extramarital relationship.
Fun like fun to mock the dumb Christians. Also, it’s pretty vague and not step by step. I read it. It doesn’t have ingredients. You’re INTERPRETING
A better challenge would be, “this isn’t a choice-based abortion and not a direct, meaningful challenge to modern, destructive, pro-life positions.”
However it is interpreted, though, it does contradict the first principle upon which pro-life positions are based that any abortion is murder and therefore prohibited. My short time on this platform has led me to assume the average commenter is not capable of nuance and therefore assumes any contradiction is a stance on the polar opposite - I therefore must spend this sentence clarifying I believe the first principle of pro-lifers is absolutely false.
The passage literally has ingredients of wheat, holy water, and church dust with instructions for use.
Anyway
You might be thinking that wheat is a strange thing to add to this list until you find out what ergot is and what effect it can have on a pregnancy.
That just makes this even more sad than I already thought - how many honest women were deemed harlots because they were tortured into a miscarriage?
