Ironically, the Old Testament (which Christians consider the word of their God) only mentions abortion once, and it's a description of how to perform one with a weird magic spell if a woman is unfaithful to her husband (Numbers 5:11-31).
Nowhere in the Bible does it say that abortion is a sin, or even of any concern to God at all. Although if one takes the Bible seriously, one has to accept that God is pro slavery and made women inferior to men.
Which is why the Bible shouldn't be taken seriously. It has a few good moral precepts which can be found anywhere and a lot of bullshit that the Western world has been dragged down by for millennia.

- krapp 2y agoBy "seriously" I meant in the way that Christians do, meaning the literal and inerrant word of God. Obviously the Bible has been influential in forming Western civilization. So have the works of the Greeks and Shakespeare. But no one is trying to enshrine the precepts of the Pythagorean cult into law.
