Fun fact if you go by what the bible says and not what religious people say. Life is in the breath and therefore doesn’t begin until after birth. It also gives recipes to force miscarriages if a woman was raped or had an adulterous relationship.

Do you recall which passage for that 2nd point?

I don’t remember specifically where but it was in Numbers and Leviticus. It had the ladies drink tea made from the spices from the altar, which included myrrh and mastic resin, both of which are known to cause miscarriages. It then described their stomach falling out as their bodies were cleansed.

That sounds very much like a miscarriage to me.
