Michael Parenti on the "pro-life" anti-abortion scam

“One wonders why Yahweh's present-day fundamentalist believers are so upset about abortion, equating it with the killing of children and claiming that it violates biblical dictate. As we saw in the previous chapter, butchering innocent babes (actual infants, not fetuses) is a common and much-encouraged practice in the Holy Bible. God ordered the slaughter of all children and adults among the Midians, Hittites, Canaanites, and numerous other peoples. Psalms 137 addresses the “daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed” with “Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.” So why all the fuss nowadays about doing away with a fertilized ovum?”
