[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Theologically speaking, it’s not in any way. The Bible makes no mention of abortion except for the passage that can be interpreted as a priest giving a woman an abortion. In 1978, evangelical leaders, at the behest of conservative activist Paul Weyrich, seized on abortion not for moral reasons, but as a rallying-cry to deny President Jimmy Carter a second term. Why? Because the anti-abortion crusade was more palatable than the religious right’s real motive: protecting segregated schools.[/quote] It was also a way to attack the women's rights movement. And it's a pretty recent development. Generally, abortion bans applied after "quickening," when you could feel the fetus moving. Abortion bans were part of an effort by an increasingly professionalized medical establishment to discredit midwives (who generally performed abortions). [/quote]
