That is probably because in those days a woman did not kill the baby in her womb.......Life may have been more precious then it is now.......
Wrong.
There is evidence that abortion was common in ancient Rome; in ancient Egypt, it was practiced for more than two and a half thousand years before the birth of Christ.
The history of abortion, according to anthropologists, dates back to ancient times. Historically, pregnancies were terminated through a number of methods, including the administration of abortifacient herbs, the use of sharpened implements, the application of abdominal pressure, and other techniques.
Abortion timeline:
2600 BC –First recorded recipe for an abortifacient drug.
1850 BC –Egyptians record recipe for contraceptive pessaries, one made from crocodile dung.
4th Century AD –St.Augustine lays down Catholic dogma sanctioning abortion up to 80 days for female fetus and up to 40 days for male fetus.
13th Century AD -St.Thomas Aquinas states Catholic dogma justifying sexual intercourse only for procreation.
1564 AD -Italian anatomist, Fallopius, discoverer of Fallopian tubes, publicizes condoms as anti-venereal disease devices.
1588 – Pope Sixtus forbids all abortions.
1591 – Pope Gregory XIV rescinds Pope Sixtus’ edict against abortion.
1803 – Great Britain makes abortion a misdemeanor.
But don't worry; the bible doesn't have much to say about rape, either; and in fact it implicitly condones slavery.
Apparently, God was too busy focusing on minutiae- such as preventing people from eating ospreys and wearing polyester- to really pay that much attention to the pressing human rights issues of the day.
Yes, I believe you can.
Nowhere in the Tanach are there any statements forbiding such an act.
Nowhere in the Gospels of Jesus are there any statements forbiding such an act.
And, lets rephrase your OP.
Genocide?
Lets see. An Embryo is....
A nationality? No
A Racial Group? No
A Political Group? No
A cultural group? No
Wrong.

If you think that Jesus Christ would not be pro life and anti abortion then you live in a fantasy world my friend.....................
Why do you hate Christianity so much?
Do you have anything to even remotely substantiate your claim that Jesus would be pro-life? No? Then stop claiming you speak for your god, you false prophet blasphemer.
:sigh: Let's try this ONE MORE TIME.
genocide: n: The systematic planned extermination of an entire national, racial, political, or ethnic group.
Those that are aborted DO NOT QUALIFY as being victims of genocide under this definition. They are not part of any specific national, racial, political, or ethnic group. The comparision between abortion and genocide is ridiculous. Even if you believe that abortion is murder, IN NO WAY IS IT GENOCIDE.
Thank you for your kind attention.
My interpretation of the Bible leads me to believe that Jesus, if in fact he existed at all as either a historical personage or a supernatural entity, could hardly be classified as "Pro-family" in the modern sense of the word.
It's hard to say what his opinion on abortion would've been, if he'd even cared enough to express one, which he obviously did not.
I believe his views were progressive, for his time and place, in regard to the treatment of women.

I really did not have to read anymore then that...........

Actually....you DID need to read more than that, But you wont....and therein lies a piece of the problem.
There you go again. Whenever you know you're losing an argument, just change the subject from abortion and attack someone else's religious beliefs. :roll:
Why don't you address any of the points that have been made? Show us some evidence from the Bible that Jesus would have been pro-life. For that matter, show us some evidence that you've even READ the Bible. Because it sounds to me like you don't have a clue what you're talking about.
What is the point if you are arguing with and Atheist or agnotstic?
Well, then. Huh. :neutral:
There is not much sense in debating someone on this subject if they don't believe in Jesus Christ.....
[B said:Caine;441205]You know, just becuse you "claim" to be a "christian" doesn't make you better qualified to speak about the teachings of the bible. In fact[/B], you haven't proven that you know much about the bible in general. As SouthernBelle said earlier, it doesn't take much to be a Christian, all you have to do is "believe in Jesus and believe he died for our sins" and " ask him for forgiveness". Sounds simple right? Because it is. Outside of this, there is no reqirement to know much, therefore, just because you "claim" to be a christian, that does not necessarily mean you know more about the bible/teachings than someone who does not follow Christ.
Thank you, in advance, Navy Pride, for only reading part of this post and ignoring the rest
