oh, some stuff according to the bible

So, when does life be­gin ac­cord­ing to God?

When He has “breathed life” into his chil­dren. A baby’s FIRST breath? Once they leave the mother’s body.

Sounds pret­ty clear to me:

And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nos­trils the breath of life; and man be­came a liv­ing soul.
Gen 2:7

By the word of the LORD the heav­ens were made, And by the breath of His mouth all their host.
Psalms 33:6

9 Then said he unto me, Proph­esy unto the wind, proph­esy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord God; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live. 10 So I proph­e­sied as he com­mand­ed me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an ex­ceed­ing great army …

13 And ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves, O my peo­ple, and brought you up out of your graves, 14 And shall put my spir­it in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the Lord have spo­ken it, and per­formed it, saith the Lord.
Ezekiel 37 9–10, 13–14

If he set his heart to it and gath­er to him­self his spir­it and his breath, all flesh would per­ish to­geth­er, and man would re­turn to dust.
Job 34: 14–15

Lord, who cre­at­ed the heav­ens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and what comes from it, who gives breath to the peo­ple on it and spir­it to those who walk in it …
 

Also from the Bible: Forced to drink bit­ter­root to mis­car­ry? Sounds like a sanc­tioned abor­tion to me. Care to ex­plain this? Anyone?

11 Then the Lord said to Moses, 12 “Speak to the Is­raelites and say to them: ‘If a man’s wife goes astray and is un­faith­ful to him 13 so that an­oth­er man has sex­u­al re­la­tions with her, and this is hid­den from her hus­band and her im­pu­ri­ty is un­de­tect­ed (since there is no wit­ness against her and she has not been caught in the act), 14 and if feel­ings of jeal­ousy come over her hus­band and he sus­pects his wife and she is im­pure – or if he is jeal­ous and sus­pects her even though she is not im­pure – 15 then he is to take his wife to the priest. He must also take an of­fer­ing of a tenth of an ephah[a] of bar­ley flour on her be­half. He must not pour olive oil on it or put in­cense on it, be­cause it is a grain of­fer­ing for jeal­ousy, a re­minder-of­fer­ing to draw at­ten­tion to wrongdoing.

16 “‘The priest shall bring her and have her stand be­fore the Lord. 17 Then he shall take some holy wa­ter in a clay jar and put some dust from the taber­na­cle floor into the wa­ter. 18 Af­ter the priest has had the woman stand be­fore the Lord, he shall loosen her hair and place in her hands the re­minder-of­fer­ing, the grain of­fer­ing for jeal­ousy, while he him­self holds the bit­ter wa­ter that brings a curse. 19 Then the priest shall put the woman un­der oath and say to her, “If no oth­er man has had sex­u­al re­la­tions with you and you have not gone astray and be­come im­pure while mar­ried to your hus­band, may this bit­ter wa­ter that brings a curse not harm you. 20 But if you have gone astray while mar­ried to your hus­band and you have made your­self im­pure by hav­ing sex­u­al re­la­tions with a man oth­er than your hus­band” – 21 here the priest is to put the woman un­der this curse – “may the Lord cause you to be­come a curse among your peo­ple when he makes your womb mis­car­ry and your ab­domen swell. 22 May this wa­ter that brings a curse en­ter your body so that your ab­domen swells or your womb miscarries.”

“‘Then the woman is to say, “Amen. So be it.”
Num­bers 5:11–22 NIV
