The Bible
What the Bible actually says about abortion may surprise you
Interesting article. As I've mentioned before, the bottom line is that the Bible doesn't say anything about abortion.
It doesn't matter, though. To Republicans and the pro-life movement, perception is more real than facts. And it just seems like Jesus would be against abortion, doesn't it?
But the Jesus of the Bible was portrayed as liking women, being on their side, even if they did outré things. Mary Magdalene, Mary of Bethany, the woman at the well, the woman who touched Jesus' garment, the Canaanite woman, the widow of Nain, the adulterous woman, etc.
Conservatives don't own Christianity, and their interpretation is just an interpretation.
