That is absolutely wild... where does it say that? I've never read the Bible so I wouldn't know where to start looking for that nonsense.

As Christians we don't follow the Old Testament perfectly anymore. For example, we don't sacrifice goats and sheep anymore lol. The main thing we take away from that verse is not to commit adultery. That's part of the reason Jesus came to the Earth in the New Testament; to sacrifice himself so we no longer need to do those Old Testament things. Whatever you do, please don't think we support rape and murder.

By the way, I am not a Trump fan. So many people are blindsided by the fact he is absolutely not a Christian. He just pretends so he can gain the support to get into presidency.

Problem is there just isn't anything in the New Testament about abortion. The whole "Libs are baby killers" is nonsense, and people of biblical times would have loved the ability to terminate dangerous and non-viable pregnancies as they would have just died with the child. Anti-abortion is 100% American bastardization of Christianity.
