@JuliaHB1 Wow, nice leap there. A) The OT allows bond-servitude, not chattel ‘slavery’. B) That law applied to old Israel, not Church today. -
@PeterDCXW oh well, that's alright then. -
@JuliaHB1 Yes, it was, given that OT was for nation of people who were hard of heart (Matthew 19:8); fulfilled by Christ (Matthew 5:17-18).

@JuliaHB1 Regardless, abortion can be seen to be wrong by Natural Law (i.e. against murder), rather than reliance on revelation. -
@PeterDCXW the Catholic Church has happily murdered many hundreds of thousands of people so why the problem with abortion? -
@JuliaHB1 No, *some* Catholics, in the past, have collectively killed people. Also true of Britain, & just as (ir)relevant to present. -
@PeterDCXW it was church-sanctioned -
@JuliaHB1 What was? The butchery in the Crusades was not. Nor the (grossly exaggerated) abuses of the Spanish Inquisition. Both corrupted.
