And to think, some folks got uptight and agitated when I noted that abortion and paganism go hand in hand.

Much as we tend to romanticize the ancient Romans, they were a bloodthirsty and ruthless bunch.

Heck, any Planned Parenthood "facility" worth its salt can do that in a week!
(And we think the Romans were barbaric).

but the climate is thought to have been warmer than now, making farming easier.

A single datum which by itself makes complete nonsense of Anthropogenic Global Warming. Those Romans and their SUVs ...

“Romans, who also considered infanticide less shocking than it is today.”

#####

“Shocking”?

Must be a liberal journalist. “Shocking” is blowing a 5-0 lead in the bottom of the ninth.

Infanticide is an unspeakable horror, literally Hell on Earth.

Actually, in Roman Law the Paterfamilias, was THE head of the household. He held all power over everyone not just the newborns and infants. Think of the Sheiks in Saudi for a good comparison
...No divorce courts, child support or alimony... Ahh paradise :)

“’I am still in Alexandria. ... I beg and plead with you to take care of our little child, and as soon as we receive wages, I will send them to you. In the meantime, if (good fortune to you!) you give birth, if it is a boy, let it live; if it is a girl, expose it.’”

As Roman soldiers were paid only 2-3 times per year, they had to be good money managers.

The famously well-preserved remains at Pompeii revealed a city rife with brothels signposted with erotic frescoes tempting passers-by with phrases such as 'Hic habitat felicitas' (Here happiness resides) or 'Sum tua aere' (I am yours for money).

I saw a documentary about Pompeii, the remains of which really are about 1/4 brothels. The best scholarship today suggests that far from being an unusual "LasVegas-like" sexpot, Pompeii was TYPICAL of the Roman Empire, just frozen in time in AD 68.

Therefore in an environment not unlike Sodom, Christianity was born and the ethics of the New Testament flourished...which of course included sexual purity and rescuing babies from infanticide.

Sounds like a cemetery for babies that died at birth....Probably a very, very special place.

The chick that said "prostitute babies".....Which hat did she pull that out of????

Feminists probably thought they invented the practice of killing babies, but all they really did was turn it into a more efficient assembly line of death.
