You'll find that while the less thorough translations might say kill, the original text is about murder, ie. unjustified killing. I know of no stories in the Bible where death was ordered without cause. Yes, even the killing of children.

Out of context my ass.
Nooo... God wouldn't kill innocent babies to prove a point. Except for when he did... according to the bible:

I don't give a shit what context you put that in, it's detestable. Not like men having butt sex detestable, but "filling them with horror so they would know I am the LORD" detestable.

Whatever your statistics, the vast majority of Christiandom feel/ teach that abortion is against God's law. Therefore if people are having abortion, they're not following typical Christian doctrine, ergo not in mainline Christianity.
Quote:Women identifying themselves as Protestants obtain 37.4% of all abortions in the U.S.; Catholic women account for 31.3%, Jewish women account for 1.3%, and women with no religious affiliation obtain 23.7% of all abortions. 18% of all abortions are performed on women who identify themselves as "Born-again/Evangelical".

Denial helps nothing. Cling to your silly claim that those who get abortions are not truly Christian, but it's pointless to those of us who live in reality. Who is to judge what makes or breaks someone's authenticity as a Christian? You? Get over yourself.

I could spend all day using the bible to make the bible look ridiculous and disgusting. It's actually not that hard, if you really think about it.
