    It doesn’t explicitly say that abortion is wrong. It says that life is sacred and that killing someone is wrong. The Mosaic Law even said that if a pregnant woman was harmed, even accidentally, and it caused the baby to miscarry then the offender should be put to death, a “life for a life”.

    Have you read the Old Testament? There are so many dead babies there you could use them for the foundations of the tower of Babel. There’s even a method described for inducing abortion.

    Yes, I have read it. Just because something is mentioned in the Bible, it isn’t an endorsement. There are many accounts of people doing terrible things, but that doesn’t mean we should all go and do those things. They are there either as a historical account or as an example of what not to do.
