The Bible supports abortion [View all]
It's true. The topic of abortion appears exactly once in the Bible, in Numbers, chapter 5, verses 19-28.
A man thinks his wife committed adultery so he brings her to a priest. The priest makes her swallow 'the water of bitterness' (in some versions it's 'the bitter water that brings the curse' i.e. menstrual cycle) and says a prayer over her. If she's guilty of adultery, she'll have 'untimely birth and miscarriage'.
The water of bitterness is clearly an abortifacient --so how can 'religious' companies claim that god is against abortifacients?
