ORIGINAL: Elisabella quote:
ORIGINAL: jlf1961 Now I am Catholic and pro life, however, nowhere can I find anything in the Bible advocating the murder of someone or putting their lives in danger on purpose. Other Abortion Doctors have been placed on these type of posters and within months they have been murdered. Well there is Exodus 22:18 - Do not allow a sorceress to live. This is relevant because the concept of "sorceress" in those times was a woman versed in herbal arts, and one of their main sources of revenue was providing abortifacient herbs to women who did not want to carry a pregnancy to term. There is also capital punishment for harming a fetus as an accident, presumably doing so deliberately would be worse: If men fight and hurt a woman with child, so that she gives birth prematurely, yet no harm follows, he shall surely be punished accordingly, as the woman's husband imposes on him; and he shall pay as the judges determine. But if any harm follows, then you shall give life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe. (Exodus 21:22-25) Exodus 22:18 is mistranslated. Witch is not far off, but it does not mean an herbalist, it means someone who practices bad speech, Gossip or Slanderer would be a more accurate translation. That's probably King James' most notorious mistranslation.
