re: How do you TX residents feel about TX State Rep. James Talarico? He's a Dem by the way...

He is correct in observing that the Bible simply does not directly address the question of abortion. Whether it provides indirect guidance on that issue is entirely a matter of interpretation.

while i agree it's a matter of interpretation Exodus makes it pretty clear that a dead baby in strife is life for a life.

“If people are fighting and hit a pregnant woman and she gives birth prematurely but there is no serious injury, the offender must be fined whatever the woman’s husband demands and the court allows. But if there is serious injury, you are to take life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise.

Exodus 21:22-25


And i would say that modern law agrees with that. if you murder a pregnant woman, nobody has a problem making that a double homicide.

I can understand a non-believer waving that away. However, the Bible never condones killing of unborn though just like it never condones homosexual acts. or extramarital acts.

Sometimes the Lord has used sinful men and their sin to make His will be done (David and Bathsheba, Pharoah, etc.) but it's never condoned.
