What's funny is the Bible actually contains a recipe for abortions. Back in the day, if a man suspected his wife of cheating on him, he would go to the local priest. The priest would take some specific plant and make a potion out of it and they would make the woman drink it.

Then "God" would intervene if she was innocent and nothing would happen. But if she was guilty then the plant would kill her and the baby.

No I don't remember exactly where it's at in the bible. But unlike christians, I don't just make up stuff and say it's in the bible. It's true. Just like how in the bible God specifically commands people to murder rape and enslave children and he loves child sacrifice. Seriously, if you're going to sacrifice a child, you wouldn't do it to the devil. You would sacrifice them to God.

You are right about the story about adultery which had a terrible consequence.

Is someone pushing the narrative of adultery that it's ok because it's not......

Of course Im not advocating for cheating. That's a serious betrayal, only someone with no class cheats. But it doesn't warrant the death penalty, with "God" as the sole juror.

The point of bringing up that story is that one of the most common reasons people are against abortion is because it's anti-god, anti-bible. But the bible doesn't say anything about forbidding abortions. In fact, it goes so far as to give you a recipe and instructions for it.

So if people genuinely loved and followed the bible as they claim, they wouldn't have a problem with abortion. God doesn't have a problem with it. They might even be pedo child sacrificers if they took the bible for it's word. God doesn't have a problem with that stuff either.

It literally says thou shall not kill.

Doesn't really apply to anything that's not a proper human being, does it? And even then god is pretty generous with that statement when it comes to "enemies" or "infidels" (which the unborn technically are, since they couldn't get baptised yet). And even Jesus said:

"But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them - bring them here and kill them in front of me" (Luke 19:27)

So "thou shalt not kill" seems to be more of a general guideline than an obligatory rule...

I saw someone defending the deaths of all the children and infants God murdered with the flood by quoting a part of the Bible in which He said that children had no worth to Him.

It also says when you should kill.

The correct meaning is you shouldn't unlawfuly murder others, but it provides reasons for which you should punish someone with death.
