[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Although not totally clear, the bible strongly supports a conclusion that: (1) a husband who suspects his wife of infidelity can force her to take an abortifacient (the ordeal of bitter waters); and (2) if someone causes your wife to miscarry, it is not akin to murder, but rather something that should be subject to a civil lawsuit where the husband may be compensated for injury to his property.

I am not sure where the strong Christian objection to abortion even comes from.[/quote]

It came from racism. Evangelicals didn’t like that the public schools were integrated so they started their own religious schools to keep their kids’ schools segregated. It started messing with their tax status, so they needed voters to elect people who’d let them keep the segregated religious schools and their tax exemptions, but it wasn’t an issue that drove people to the polls. They figured out that abortion would, so they changed their stance that it’s a private medical issue to it being an issue of murdering babies, and that’s how it took off. Eventually the school stuff sort of resolved, but the abortion issue stuck around. I believe it was billy graham who previously supported abortion as healthcare but changed his stance when conservatives needed him to, and I know it used to be seen as necessary healthcare in the Southern Baptist Convention’s  doctrine. So like most political things conservatives do, it’s rooted in evil. [/quote]
