And finally, the spiritual debate on abortion. Religious extremists believe its killing a child. Period. But the truth is, according to religion a child who died before it can be born automatically goes to heaven. A mom that dies from a ghetto abortion goes to hell(again, according to religion). So, if abortions are going to happen no matter what shouldnt we embrace the route which results in more people going to heaven than hell.

And yet the Bible itself is very pro abortion. It says any woman suspected of cheating should have an abortion, and even provides detailed instructions for carrying out the abortion(Numbers 5:11-31). Causing a miscarriage is treated as a lesser offense than murder(Exodus 21:22). It says in numerous places that God's breath is what gives life, seemingly indicating that life begins at first breath, yet babies don't breathe on their own in the womb(e.g., Genesis 2:7). It also sets a price on people based on age and sex, but places no value on anyone younger than one month(Leviticus 27:1-7).
