The brainwashing has been effective for some.
A STUNNING position. Both legally and morally. Utterly bereft of thought or conscience.
I don't see how folks fall for it.

An interesting aside, if one goes beyond the Bible, some prophets predicted in the end that the love of many would grow cold, and use the example of 'mothers having abortions within their wombs'. Historically, that has been interpreted as a failure of pregnancy... But we know better now. The Bible hints at this too... in the end, "even the women..."
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
KJV Rom 1:24-26 [...]
'Even the women' - Like this is a special astonishment... Like women, of all things, would be the least likely...
Motherhood is such a hard-wired thing in every critter. Kipling got it right in 'The Female of the Species'... It is truly the most unnatural state for a female to kill her offspring. Especially in the womb.
Nothing is more pitiful and shameful than a mother choosing to kill her own child.
