What's gods rules about abortion?
According to Drich, God is opposed to abortion and homosexuality. I think the abortion rule is derived from the ten commandments' "thou shalt not kill"? The homosexuality rule comes from some bible verse that says God hates a man sleeping with another man. The Jews were opposed to male homosexuality, but it's not clear how they felt about female homosexuality.
robvalue mentioned the verse about deciding the innocence of a women by forcing her to drink a nasty magic potion that would shrivel her womb or something. I never connected that with abortion, but maybe that was what it described. (My eyes usually glazed-over when I read that part of the Bible. )
