Spolier alert: No! Not even close.
@jamielmanson of @Catholic4Choice explains how it has been anything but consistent & comparing abortion to murder is a *very* recent invention— on @OrdEquality

Attitudes around women's sexuality, pregnancy, childbearing, abortion are fundamentally abt the social control of women— until we understand this is part of 1,000s of years of men controlling women's behavior, then we cannot understand what is happening today.

On today's ep of @OrdEquality we interview Prof Randall Balmer, expert in evangelicals, about the *real* origins of the religious right.
They’ll tell you it was abortion, but that's HOGWASH. It was segregation. https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2014/05/religious-right-real-origins-107133/

We talk to Rabbi @TheRaDR:
"I, a Jew, do not want Christian theology to be deciding what kind of healthcare access I, or anyone in my community or in the country gets... Judaism says abortion is permitted & sometimes required." https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lets-go-to-church/id1492330633?i=1000509518559

@kateyzeh of @RCRChoice's perspective on @OrdEquality:
For me, the central story is this gospel story in Mark of a hemorrhaging woman. This woman [takes] what she needs, even without it being within the bounds of what was socially acceptable.
Jesus affirms her for doing that.

I said, okay, what am I going to go with? Am I going to go with the teaching that God loves God's own creation? Or am I going to go with the teaching of, you've got to come this ONE way, the one way we tell you to come?
