It used to be that christianity was the driver of the anti-abortion movement but these days you hardly ever see someone arguing against abortion based on christianity - instead the anti-abortion crowd like to frame their abortion stance as a moral choice.
Its still mostly christians that are against abortion but they know that only a tiny percentage of civilized populations agree with the pope that abortion is unacceptable in any circumstance - almost nobody agrees with them. Most Catholics do not agree with the pope because we know that he is a stupid old %$%$.
So the anti-abortion crowd are a bunch of hypocrites because they now have to argue that abortion is acceptable in certain circumstances knowing that less than 5% of civilized populations agree with them and the pope that abortion is never ok. So they are 'pro-life' but only if this or this or this didnt happen in which case they are pro-abortion. Very few of the anti-abortion crowd are going to support forcing a teenager that has been raped by a mentally disabled homeless man to have the baby - less than 5% of them. The crazy old pope would though.
But if there are any christians out there that do agree with the pope then what do you say about the Ordeal of the Bitter Water? You can waffle on about translations all you like but the fact is that there is a part of the bible that has a priest putting a curse on a woman that will cause her to miscarry if she has been unfaithful.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage...31&version=NIV“If no other man has had sexual relations with you and you have not gone astray and become impure while married to your husband, may this bitter water that brings a curse not harm you.20 But if you have gone astray while married to your husband and you have made yourself impure by having sexual relations with a man other than your husband”—21 here the priest is to put the woman under this curse—“may the Lord cause you to become a curse[b] among your people when he makes your womb miscarry and your abdomen swell.22 May this water that brings a curse enter your body so that your abdomen swells or your womb miscarries.”
Is this not an abortion in the bible? So there you have it - God is cool with abortion.
Another thing christians in USA do is that they will argue that its ok for them to support the death penalty but not abortion because thou shalt not kill does not apply to the state but the fact is that its the state that is performing the abortions. So your argument only works if an individual has some kind of illegal abortion which is quite rare these days thanks to laws making abortion legal.
So if you are a christian that believes that abortion is not ok in any circumstance then you are as crazy as the pope.
If there are any less than 5%er christians here that do agree with the crazy pope can you explain to me why you would force a teenage girl that has been raped by a mentally disabled homeless man to have the baby? What about if it was a nurse that got brutally gang raped by a hundred maniacs in a mental asylum? Thats how we got Freddy Krueger you know. Wouldnt you have to agree that the pope belongs in a mental asylum?
