The morality, legality, and ethics of abortion has been pondered ever since it began being practiced in Egypt in 1500 BC. The Assyrians banned it. The Greeks encouraged it. The Bible teaches killing children is wrong, but apparently instructs how to perform an abortion - or does it? How did Jews and early Christians feel about the practice? How did early legal systems and Common Law manage abortion? What traditions carried on to colonial America? What did first wave feminists have to say about it? Is it an enshrined constitutional right or basically murder? What will happen now that Dobbs v Jackson has overturned Roe v Wade?
In this episode, Doug Archway discusses these topics and many more.
