While the Bible may not spell it out, the Didache - The Lord's Teaching to the heathen by the Twelve, certainly does.


CHAPTER 2

The second part of the teaching

1 But the second commandment of the teaching is this: 2 "Thou shalt do no murder; thou shalt not commit adultery"; thou shalt not commit sodomy; thou shalt not commit fornication; thou shalt not steal; thou shalt not use magic; thou shalt not use philtres; thou shalt not procure abortion, nor commit infanticide; "thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's goods"; 3 thou shalt not commit perjury, "thou shalt not bear false witness"; thou shalt not speak evil; thou shalt not bear malice. 4 Thou shalt not be double-minded nor double-tongued, for to be double-tongued is the snare of death. 5 Thy speech shall not be false nor vain, but completed in action. 6 Thou shalt not be covetous nor extortionate, nor a hypocrite, nor malignant, nor proud; thou shalt make no evil plan against thy neighbour. 7 Thou shalt hate no man; but some thou shalt reprove, and for some shalt thou pray, and some thou shalt love more than thine own life.

Wouldn’t “Thou Shall NOT Kill” simply do?

Exodus 20, which you quoted: Thou Shalt not kill (murder).

And also Exodus 21 has clear application:

Verses 22-25
22 If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.
23 And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,
24 Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
25 Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.

If one's man actions causes an 'unexpected birth' ('the woman's fruit departs') - the instigator will be punished by the effect on the child. For the case of the Abortionist - this would be death.

Abortion would be anathema to Jesus, killing the most innocent and helpless of God’s creations. I could see Him with his whip, in righteous anger, driving the abortion doctors/nurses and baby-killing mothers OUT of the clinics. FOR SHAME on them.

Goldberg is either out of her mind or just being one of Satan’s minions.

Of course. I wonder what part of “Thou Shalt Not Kill” they
pretend not to understand.

Being out of her mind would partially absolve her, to my way of thinking. How can she or anyone NOT see murder in abortion? I guess the fifth commandment isn't in THEIR ten commandments.

IMO, anyone choosing to serve satan is out of their mind. I think we are seeing a preview of the Revelation with obozo getting elected twice, people calling evil good and the great deception hat has befallen those who choose to defy God.

Yo Whoopi, did your mother have an abortion?

Of course Whoopie has “scholarly credentials in the field of theology.” She has most likely seen the following movies: The Bible, The Greatest Story Ever Told, and the Ten Commandments. What more of a scholarly biblical education could you expect her to have?

Yes, she used to boast publicly about having 6-8 abortions. She could not afford the children, but she could afford to have unmarried sex all her partners.

Poisonous hemlock is easily mistaken for Queen Anne’s Lace.

http://www.kingcounty.gov/environment/animalsAndPlants/noxious-weeds/weed-identification/poison-hemlock.aspx

“Poison-hemlock can be confused with wild carrot (Daucus carota, or Queen Anne’s Lace), as with many other members of the parsley family that resemble it. ...Snip.... Poison-hemlock is acutely toxic to people and animals, with symptoms appearing 20 minutes to three hours after ingestion. All parts of the plant are poisonous and even the dead canes remain toxic for up to three years...”

I do not think that you would be looking for Queen Anne’s Lace but if you know anyone who might be, please let them know!
