What is Reddit's opinion of Abortion and the Christian Tradition: A Pro-Choice Theological Ethic?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Oh I agree. I snuck in the charge to support people making their own mothering decisions, which also includes the decision not to mother! This is one of the premises of Kamitsuka’s Christian pro-choice theology.

And yeah, in a country with maternal mortality rates >3x greater than the rest of the developed world, even offering adoption to all of these people will make it a death sentence for some.

I used to be agnostic to this question. I started leaning in the pro-choice position after someone recommended to me Judith Jarvis Thomson’s essay, “A Defense of Abortion,” wherein she makes an argument from bodily autonomy.

When the draft was leaked, I immediately learned the harmful ramifications of the pro-life position. I also read Margaret Kamitsuka’s <em>Abortion and the Christian Tradition: A Pro-Choice Theological Ethic</em>. It helped me develop a more cohesive pro-choice position.

Ultimately (maybe this shows my human selfishness, but it’s the truth), my support was solidified once I related it to my own struggle as a queer person: Queer liberation means freedom from the government telling you what you can and can’t do with your own reproductive organs. I therefore have a vested interest in any policy that abrogates that.

> Oh boy you're trusting a Christ-rejecting Rabbi to interpret scripture for you. Sorry I have no interest in listening to a non-Christian view of the Bible.

Ha, you don't want to listen to Jewish scholars about Hebrew? Ok then.

Here's a sampling of pro-abortion Christian Biblical scholars for your comfort ;)
