Well this book from the Bronze Age which has consistently been wrong about everything has some sentence that may or may not indicate that this thing is bad.

Don't even get me started in biblical abortion.v

Here, I'll do it for you - the Bible contains instructions for a ritual in which if a man believes his pregnant wife was unfaithful and the child is not his the priest can mix a potion from bitter water and dust from the floor of the temple and administer it. If she was unfaithful then by the power of God her pregnancy will terminate. If it doesn't, this is unquestionable proof of paternity from God himself. This is often described as proof the Bible contains directions for abortion, despite the method of action being divine intervention and it only working in cases of infidelity.

In any context other than trying to argue for abortion against members of Abrahamic faiths, the same passages would be used as an example of Biblical misogyny and punishing women for having sex.

That misspelling changes your comment drastically. You're somehow inside a biblical abortion and also turned off, and don't want to be turned on until it's done.

Its so tiresome to see people wave around the Gospels while screaming "Transgenderism is Against God!" right before the hit the BUY button on another stack of themed Funkopops to add to their ~~pagan altar~~ curio cabinet.
