What the Bible has to say about abortion.

1. Funny also there are no reports of Jesus picketing the "Church of the Harlot"

or mentioning abortion, since it is supposed to be so important (supposedly young girls virginity was sold at the COH).

The only place he "picketed" was the temple and the moneychangers.

3. Abortion is SO important now it probably is the motivation for half of GOP voters.

which is why this meme needs to be circulated to them.

4. They do not care...

The issue is not about "facts" with them in any sense.
The Bible is not even important to them, but feeling morally superior and above the unwashed amoral masses (in their opinion that is anyone not in 100% agreement with themselves)...

It's about fictitious "babies being harvested and carved up for organs" (totally fake but evocative imagery).
It's about punishing women for enjoying life and sex in ways they do not approve of...
It's about punishing women for the temerity to say "I control my life and my body"...

It's about control and feeling that they are the ones in control instead of accepting that they are not and never should be in charge of anything more important than getting the recycling bin up from the curb each week.

They FEEL superior in their heads to mask the actual inferiority of their hate-filled, bigoted lives.

We have no chance of reaching them with facts, with pictures, with videos, with anything other than acquiescence to their world view.

FUCK THEM.

They are wrong.
They are losing the argument to the moral arc of history.
They are never going to change.

6. If you tell them the republicans have infiltrated their church they will be insulted.....

They will think you are claiming their church is weak enough to be infiltrated.

They would prefer to believe the church infiltrated the republicans.

5. Since I don't rely on the Bible for any rules...

...what it thinks about abortion is irrelevant - however this is most amusing...and I shall use it!

7. Is there a special interpretation needed?

http://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Numbers-5-11_5-31/

There is lots of talk about swelled bellies and rotting thighs, but nothing to suggest an abortion or miscarriage.

8. Here's an interpretation with more modern Bible.

Numbers 5:27-28 New International Version (NIV)

27 If she has made herself impure and been unfaithful to her husband, this will be the result: When she is made to drink the water that brings a curse and causes bitter suffering, it will enter her, her abdomen will swell and her womb will miscarry, and she will become a curse. 28 If, however, the woman has not made herself impure, but is clean, she will be cleared of guilt and will be able to have children.

This has a few more but most are direct orders to kill the fetus and mother.
