    There’s a part of the Bible that talks about swelling the belly that can be considered vague enough to ignore. Although I think it’s pretty obvious what it’s talking about.

    But the Bible is 100% crystal clear about fetuses being property and absolutely not a living human. In fact, I think it’s a bit extreme in that it says if you cause a miscarriage you just have to pay a fine.

      Depends on the version. Some versions of Numbers 5:11-31 mention the bitter drink causing a miscarriage if the wife is unfaithful.
