But, and I think it's the big thing that you are missing is that those of us who are pro choice generally don't think that fetuses are children. Neither does the Bible. It's one of the few cases where I agree with the Bible. Fetuses aren't children.
I like children. Can't say I really like babies, though I loved mine. But I don't like all adults generally either. I do find injuring or neglecting babies or children reprehensible. I find injuring able adults reprehensible and injuring or neglecting disabled adults reprehensible. Ending fetuses not so much. Why? Because they are not people yet.
Bwha ha ha. I'm an atheist with a bible and I'm not afraid to use it. God apparently says that abortion is hunky dory if the woman cheats
Numbers chapter 5
Quote:16 “‘The priest shall bring her and have her stand before the Lord. 17 Then he shall take some holy water in a clay jar and put some dust from the tabernacle floor into the water. 18 After the priest has had the woman stand before the Lord, he shall loosen her hair and place in her hands the reminder-offering, the grain offering for jealousy, while he himself holds the bitter water that brings a curse. 19 Then the priest shall put the woman under oath and say to her, “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.”
“‘Then the woman is to say, “Amen. So be it.”
