A Pastorâs Case for the Morality of Abortion
Jes Kast, a minister in the United Church of Christ, believes the procedure
should be fully legal and accessible. Her path to that position has been
complicated.

What the Bible actually says about abortion may surprise you
However, abortion opponents are not the only ones who can appeal to the
Bible for support. Supporters can point to other biblical texts that would
seem to count as evidence in their favor.
Exodus 21, for example, suggests that a pregnant womanâs life is more
valuable than the fetusâs. This text describes a scenario in which men who
are fighting strike a pregnant woman and cause her to miscarry. A monetary
fine is imposed if the woman suffers no other harm beyond the miscarriage.
However, if the woman suffers additional harm, the perpetratorâs punishment
is to suffer reciprocal harm, up to life for life.

Some Christian denominations can be considered abortion rights supporters
while others are not. Additionally, there are sizable minorities in all
denominations that disagree with their denomination's stance on
abortion.
Daniel C. Maguire asserts that European-generated mainline Protestant
denominations have clearly moved in the direction of accepting family
planning and contraception as well as "support for legal access to
abortion, although with qualifications regarding the moral justification
for specific acts of abortion." This general trend among mainline
Protestant denominations has been resisted by Christian Fundamentalists
who are generally opposed to abortion. Thus, religious leaders in
more liberal Christian denominations became supporters of abortion
rights while Evangelical and other conservative Protestants found
themselves allied with the Catholic Church which remained staunchly
anti-abortion.

No, Kamala (spelled correctly) is not. See the above.
As for the poaster named "NoBoby", he/she is WRONG.

That's not the only question mark, as is noted above.
