Abortion On Demand
From Conservapedia Abortion on demand refers to a legal system that authorizes abortion without any meaningful restrictions. This was the law in the United States since the Roe v. Wade ruling in 1973, until it was overruled by Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization on June 24, 2022.
Antiquity[edit]
In ancient times, abortion was a commonplace practice in Leftist pagan nations which rejected conservative, biblical Jewish values. Both Pagan Greece and Pagan Rome, which controlled the nation of Israel for periods of time, promulgated the notion that the womb was a sex organ where babies "could be murdered."[1]
Jewish Alexandrian writings[edit]
The "Sibylline Oracles," written in Alexandria, Egypt, at around the 2nd–1st centuries B.C., condemned abortion.[1]
Alexandrian philosopher Philo the Jew, despite his Hellenistic influences, denounced the murder of children by their own parents:[1]
| “ | Again, who can be greater haters of their species than those who are the implacable and ferocious enemies of their own children? Unless, indeed, any one is so foolish as to imagine that these men can be humane to strangers who act in a barbarous manner to those who are united to them by ties of blood. And as for their murders and infanticides they are established by the most undeniable proofs, since some of them slay them with their own hands, and stifle the first breath of their children, and smother it altogether, out of a terribly cruel and unfeeling disposition, others throw them into the depths of a river, or of a sea, after they have attached a weight to them, in order that they may sink to the bottom more speedily
because of it. Others, again, carry them out into a desert place to expose them there, as they themselves say, in the hope that they may be saved by someone, but in real truth to load them with still more painful suffering; for there all the beasts which devour human flesh, since there is no one to keep them off, attack them, and feast on the delicate banquet of the children, while those who were their only guardians, and who were bound above all other people to protect and save them, their own father and other, have exposed them. And carnivorous birds fly down and lick up the remainder of their bodies, when they are not themselves the first to discover them; for when they discover them themselves they do battle with the beasts of the earth for the whole carcass. |

Tacitus[edit]
The Roman historian Tacitus noted his contemporary Jewish viewpoints towards abortion as regarding the act to constitute moral abhorrence.[1] He wrote on the Jews:[2]
| “ | Though a most lascivious people, the Jews avoid sexual intercourse with women of alien race. Among themselves nothing is barred. They have introduced the practice of circumcision to show that they are different from others. Proselytes to Jewry adopt the same practices, and the very first lesson they learn is to despise the gods, shed all feelings of patriotism, and consider parents, children and brothers as readily expendable. However, the Jews see to it that their numbers increase. It is a deadly sin to kill an unwanted child, and they think that eternal life is granted to those who die in battle or execution—hence their eagerness to have children, and their contempt for death.
