There’s a recipe to induce abortion in the Bible.
Not reading it is part of the book club.
I’ve been trying to find that bit and my apparently poor googling techniques are finding nothing. Do you mind sharing an article or passage? (Just got back from a vacation with some fairly religious family members who were goddamn tiring, would be nice to be able to cite this next time.)
Numbers 5:11-31. Here’s a Wikipedia Article about it.
Wild, thanks! And I appreciate the reference!
Oh, if you want more fun, read them these two verses:
Exodus 21:12:
And Exodus 21:22:
Then ask them why the punishment for killing a person is not the same as the punishment for causing a miscarriage.
After that, ask them why, if the Bible is the “inerrant” word of God, do some translations of that second verse use “miscarriage” while others say something more general like “caused a premature birth” instead? Because the meaning of that verse changes drastically depending on which way it’s translated.
At this point, you’ll probably be called a godless baby killer and uninvited from Thanksgiving dinner.
According to Google Translate, the original Hebrew for just that phrase directly translates to “and her children went out,” but with the full context of the verse it becomes “and her children are born.” Make of that what you will.
I could translate it to “and she gets a black eye,” but that doesn’t make the word itself any less reliable, only my wrong translation. I don’t know about the people you hang out with, but I’m pretty sure it’s important for Christians to understand that human translations are prone to error.
Born, or birthed? A stillborn is still birthed. See, we can play this game for millenia, others already have.
I copied what Google Translate told me. I’m no expert on matters relating to birth. That’s why I said “make of that what you will.”
However, I do know that we have a lot more technical language than they did back then, so that’s something to keep in mind.
“¿Porque no los dos?” or… Why not borth?
The people who downvoted this have no sense of humor. C’mon, “borth?”… objectively hilarious.

It’s not really a recipe but the Bitter Waters can be viewed as an abortifacient.
Regardless of if true - that verse does show that the christian god is pro-abortion.
Much appreciated!
Pro-abortion in the case of adultery or rape. Plus it is from the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament so it’s a Christian thing by inheritance from Judaism.
There is a kind of “recipe” in Numbers 5:11-31
It’s a “test for an unfaithful wife” but it’s a curse which would make a woman miscarry a child if it belonged to someone other than her husband.
Much appreciated, that’s craziness!
It really doesn’t mention abortions far as I can tell, and the people who say the Abrahamic tradition is anti-abortion is a bunch of shit as well.

Just ask them how god defines weddings in Christianity then point out Jews had weddings first.
? Sorry, what does that have to do with a recipe for abortion?
Nada, but if your goal was to piss then off…
What’s that supposed to prove?
