The bible is full of dead babies and children. Moses alone racked up a terrible bodycount. it's laughable that the religious try to spin it so "god hates abortion" and "all life is sacred".

Personally, I absolutely believe it is a personal choice made by oneself or with the family. Certainly, not a choice made by the church and especially not elected officials. I was reading some sections of the Talmud. It was and I think still is (to a point) believed by the Jewish leaders that there are 3 stages of existence: (1) embryo - a sack of liquid cells akin to a cyst (2) Fetus - cells being literally a part of a woman's body, not a separate entity. (3) Human - birth or being outside of the woman's body. So, I understand, as far as they are concerned, if a woman's life is at stake, abort...if a fetus is found to have a disease or be malformed in some way...the perceived cyst can be aborted, if so desired. But once in labor or in delivery, then the fetus is considered "human" but without a soul, until life is breathed into it...then abortion is not allowed - So at that point, the "thou shall not kill" comes into play. Um, maybe that is why it is #6 on the list of do's and do not's.

When, Oh when are religions going keep they filthy fingers out of the Productive Organs of women and let THEM choose what happens to and within THEIR OWN bodies?

The Bible has all sorts of ridiculous stories and rules that most people have never heard. It’s why reading the Bible from cover to cover will make most people atheists!
