This question can be answered definitively by the bible itself. There's an entire section that describes what to do should a woman cheat on her husband by having sex with another man, and part of that section covers what to do if she gets pregnant with the other man's baby. God tells the man who has been cheated on to give his wife "bitter water" which is water that has been intentionally contaminated with heavy metals. It will cause the woman to miscarry but isn't poisonous enough to seriously harm her in the long term.

And furthermore, there's another segment in which god himself descends to Earth and performs abortions by ripping the fetuses out of the wombs of all the women in Samaria and throws them into the Euphrates river.

@rckt148 Some of these are Old Testament stuff too.

The one about "bitter water" is Numbers 31:15-18, and the one about the fetuses in Samaria is Hosea 13:16.

@Zenyatta Exodus 21:22-25).
Exodus 21:22-25 King James Version (KJV)
22 If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.

23 And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,

24 Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,

25 Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.

Being compassionated for a wrong done to a husband

Isaiah 13:18

Isaiah 13:18 King James Version (KJV)
18 Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eyes shall not spare children.

those who have turned from God ,not even the children spared ,God never spares the children of those who oppose Him
but to be fair ,after the judgment everyone not Gods will be destroyed and it will be as they were never born ,,so in a way God is sparing children from growing up to face much worse deaths

Hosea 13:16

Hosea 13:16 King James Version (KJV)
16 Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.

This was all a result of pagan god worship ,,
nothing to do with going to hell and killing unborn babies

Such was to be the end of the pride, the ambition, the able policy, the wars, the oppressions, the luxury, the self-enjoyment, and, in all, [b]the rebellion of Samaria against “her” God. She has stood the more in opposition to God[/b], the nearer she might have been to Him, and “bare her iniquity.”
[quote]As a city of God‘s people[/quote], it was never restored. The spot, in its [b]pagan colonists[/b], with which Assyrian policy repopulated it [u]2 Kings 17:24, was still the abode of a mingled religion[/u]. Corruption clung, by inheritance, to its site. This too was destroyed by John Hyrcanus. “He effaced thee marks that it had ever been a city”. It was rebuilt by the Romans, after Pompey had taken Jerusalem. Herod reenclosed a circuit of two miles and a half of the ancient site, fortified it strongly, as a check on the Jews; repopulated it, partly with some who had served in his wars, partly with the people around; gave them lands, revived their idolatry by replacing their poor temple by one remarkable for size and beauty, in an area of a furlong and a half; and called the place Sebaste in honor of his pagan patron, Augustus.

A coin of Nero, struck there, bears the figure (it is thought) of its old idol, Ashtaroth. Jerome says, that John the Baptist was buried there. The pagan, who were encouraged in such desecrations by Julian the Apostate, opened the tomb, burned the bones, and scattered the dust. The city became a Christian See, and its Bishops were present at the four first General Councils. It is now but a poor village, connected with the strongly-fortified town of Herod by its pagan name Sebastieh, a long avenue of broken pillars, and the tomb of the great Forerunner. Of the ancient capital of Ephraim, not even a ruin speaks.

The prophet closes this portion of his prophecy, as other prophets so often do, with the opposite end of the righteous and the wicked. He had spoken of the victory over death, the irrevocable purpose of God for good to his own; then he speaks of utter final destruction. Then when the mercy of God shall be shown to the uttermost, and the victory over sin and death shall be accomplished, then shall all the pomp of the its riches, joys, luxuries, elegance, glory, dignity; perish and not a wreck be left behind of all which once dazzled the eyes of people, for which they forsook their God, and sold themselves to evil and the evil one.

@rckt148 So what you’re saying is is that you’re perfectly ok with your god slaughtering babies if they’re parents are of different faiths? Ok gotcha 👌

@Zenyatta I am saying as with Paul ,as Saul killing every man woman and child
You look at death in the natural ,,like this is it
I look at it from a spiritual view

Christ rose from the grave to prove a point ,,He can not be killed ,nor can His children

If we are His ,we can't be lost
Since Christ pain the debt in full for all from Adam to the last days
Any child that dies is not accountable for sin ,,so its Gods

So if it is Gods ,its just the same as asleep
On the day of the Lord ,it will wake up with a new glorified body and never die again

Christ / God holds the keys to life and death ,not man

He said to kill all who worshiped pagan Gods
He wiped everyone out except 8 .trying to give us all a fresh start ,,and finally came as a man himself as Christ

He is showing over and over satan is the one who keeps leading anyone who is not listening to him astray
but He gave us free will
But as Christ ,has gave us all a way to be saved .even babies ,,if they die before knowing good from evil ,,Christ will wake them ,,they are not lost

But you can keep blaming God if you want
He is only trying to keep satans kids from teaching his to sin ...you are supporting the wrong team

@rckt148 1 the one you call Christ is made up, Allegorical, the Judaic version of the story of Romulus, Osiris, Zalmoxis, all who dying and rising in 3 day gods with a little plagerism of the writings of Philo of Alexadria.

Not only that but resurrection story contradicts itself among the disciples who supposedly have been there
