If you child talks back to you, the Bible says to kill it. God ordered children to be put to death several times in the OT, as well. Of course, those were the children of "enemies" who didn't worship that deity, but still...sometimes it was just the boy children, who were killed like everyone who "pisseth against the wall."

The OT God, himself, killed all of the firstborn in Egypt once, too, and in Noah's flood, killed everyone, save Noah and his family. Or so it is written, as an example to its followers.

The deity of the Old Testament was an erratic sort of supernatural entity, ready to lash out and mete death about anyone it chose to die. Reproductive choice, even if post-natal.

Point all that out to the "pro-life" community, and you'll get some standard explanation like, "God's ways are not man's ways."

Platitudes that substitute for rational thinking.
