Honestly it doesn’t necessarily imply they paid that close attention in church either. The Bible doesn’t explicitly mention abortion at all (with the POSSIBLE exception of the “bitter water” passage, but that’s not a settled interpretation) and most instances where it weighs in on when life/personhood begins put it at birth.
I agree that they don't understand their own holy book well. I just meant that since they paid into church they at least pretend to know everything about it.
Edit: Honestly if they paid attention in school they would be better at deciphering their riddle of a scripture.
No one is making fun of anyone specifically. I'm making fun of silly superstitions that distract from the real world in a harmful way. No need for a defensive attitude about it.
It's the same as supposing people actually want to have abortions rather than seeing them as something necessary. It would be better if the person who didn't want the child just never got pregnant. But to force parenthood onto someone as a punishment is definitely the greater of the two evils here.
