This isn't complicated. Some christians don't believe it is their biblical duty to force others not to sin. We have been shown the true colors of the anti-abortion crowd this year as many have scoffed at something as simple as wearing a mask to "protect life". Abortion is just another issue they have no skin in that they can use to accuse others and question their faith. It's a joke, as is the whole movement at this point. If you look at the state of the two major parties and your vote comes down to "but abortion" then I would seriously question your christianity. Well I would if I cared.

Abortion is permissible in certain situations. Numbers 5:11-31 states that if a husband suspects his wife of adultery he can apply to the priest for an abortion.

Nope. That is a curse that the Lord would cause a miscarriage. It’s a terrible thing to pray but it’s God doing the work here. God doesn’t have to play god. Lives are his to give and to take. When we play god, we are mocking the real God. Abortion mocks God. It is sin.

You mean a curse that the Lord would cause an abortion. If taking two pills to cause a miscarriage is abortion then so is taking herbs and temple dirt. Regardless of if God blesses the abortion or not.

Scripture says what it says regardless of how you interpret it. God doesn’t need pills or herbs to decide the fate of a life that’s His.

So why did He require them? That's in the book I didn't just make it up. That wasn't my point though, you went out of your way to avoid using the term abortion for what took place in that passage. Which, according to what every anti-abortion person has said, is an abortion.

Either way if you believe the bible to be the inerrant word of God then He must approve of abortion in that instance. If you believe your wife to be unfaithful and wonder if that child is yours, just take her to the local priest/pastor and let him mix up some dirt from the church and some herbal abortifacients and let God sort them out.
