The United States Code, Code of Federal Regulations, & the $6 trillion dollar federal budget are loaded with an uncountable number of limitations on liberty that my religion does not prescribe. Yet, here we are. "Don't kill" seems like a minimal consensus.https://twitter.com/CatTBowen/status/1432865331878502404 …

Which, given that Jesus is agreed by historians to have spoken a Galilean dialect of Aramaic, was also a translation. What's your point? I'm a Christian and let me tell you, the Bible is one of the biggest games of Telephone that ever was, just by dint of its age and ubiquity.

Hey Dan, I've read your Bible. Both testaments. Much of them in the original Hebrew and Greek. The "don't murder" part is in the OT, which is, in fact, Hebrew. And nowhere does terminating pregnancy qualify as "murder" in either testament.

The ancients thought it did. The LXX says so, Philo, Josephus...

Well, you invoked “don’t kill” as your baseline value; I assumed you were quoting inaccurate translations of Exodus or Deuteronomy, since the New Testament does not invoke that specific constraint… except, of course, when Jesus cites the Torah. If you were extrapolating, say so.
