“’Thou shalt not kill’ is properly understood as thou shalt not murder.”

Properly TRANSLATED is more like it, right?

I’m a “KJV is #1” person, but not one who believes it’s perfect. This mis-translation is a big problem. Huge difference between “kill” and “murder”.

Aborting a baby clearly is murder.

The other third are either lying or only looking for out-of-context “excerpts” they can use against others...and claim the Bible backs them up...

How could people who read the Bible regularly believe elective abortion is okay? let along 1/3 of them?
    That third,
  1. cannot find abortion mentioned in the Bible and don’t believe the Didache which calls abortion murder.
  2. want to love the world and not be persecuted for the faith once delivered to the saints
  3. who if they were baptized Catholic, are not obedient to the Catholic teaching on life from cradle to grave.
  4. if they have heard the Holy Spirit, have hardened their hearts.


I pray their hearts will be opened before the Judgment.

The survey is Views about abortion among adults who read scripture at least once a week by parental status

For a lib, the NYSlimes is "scripture," but let's take Pew at their word: the survey is of all faiths, not just readers of the Bible.

You can sort through the geographic dispersion of the survey here but I can't immediately find any larger tables showing the total numbers. However, a quick look shows that the 2014 study surveyed in these states the following number of participants:

North Carolina: 1,022
Georgia 968
DC: 913
New York: 1,966
California: 3,697
Nebraska: 307

And no breakdown in that source for dispersal of participants across these states (DC it's all leftists, anyway). So, for the survey, you've got 1.9mm people from Nebraska represented by one third DC's 671K residents, so Nebraska is underrepresented by a factor of eight.

Typical Pew obfuscation.
