Sorry if I wasn't clear. I am providing an example of Bible sanctioned abortion. Being Christian and pro-life, I'm just wondering how you feel about that.
Quote:First of all, women in ancient times didn't have a say in who they were married to, so by you definition most prearranged marriages were rapes.
As I stated before context is everything, what may hold true in modern society, may not work the same way in ancient society, a woman had no means to be a single mother, the role of the male was as a protector and provider, remember the story of Naomi and Ruth? after their husbands died, Naomi had to go seek the protection of a male relative named Boaz.
So essentially the law you're referring to is forcing the male to take care of his responsibilities.
You guys are like a broken record. Why couldn't God have afforded women the right to have a say in who they married? Why did God cultivate a patriarchal culture in the first place? I mean, since he was in charge of writing the Jews' moral (and ritual) laws and all...
Theoretical commandment God could have written but for some reason didn't think of it:
"Women are autonomous beings and shall be treated as such"
There is no context that justifies, because your omnipotent God is responsible for all of the context.
