your own BOOK is dead set against it.
Old Testament ethics (in particular the Torah) was I believe pretty much a matter of if god does not forbid then it is acceptable (which the same ethical mindset exists in the Islamic world*). The Old Testament forbids the cold blooded killing of people who have not broken any of god's laws. While the Old Testament commands the killing of people who have broken god's laws. That is how some opponents of abortion can support capital punishment as well. This ethical system is quite "primitive" to put it and already was outdated back around the axial age roughly when the Old Testament was composed.
* One of the more interesting side-effects of such a moral mindset in the Islamic world is that male to female sex change operations are allowed and even encouraged in Iran.
