As I understand it, 1 in 3 very, very early pregnancies will self terminate ( with most. woman not even realizing she is pregnant, as they will loose the embryo at, or at most a few days after an anticipated period)
Amazing that so many fundies are hardcore pro-lifers, when God seems to have no problem yeeting one out of every three babies.
Bible apologists can twist themselves into logical pretzels explaining how God is "pro life", and fundies will scream that God hates abortion and that the Bible supports this; in reality, the exact opposite is true: in both the Old and the New Testament, God not only kills infants, but
endorses it on several occasions.
The Old Testament is riddled with verses talking about how idolatrous nations will be punished by watching their pregnant women be ripped open with swords, and their childrens' heads crushed and smashed on the ground.
Numbers 5:11-31 describes a practice,
prescribed by God Himself, where a woman suspected of adultery has her fidelity "tested" by drinking a poisonous concoction; if she's unfaithful, she will not only miscarry, but be rendered sterile for life.
Even the Hebrews, God's own chosen people, are not immune: Hosea 9:10-16 talks about God punishing the Israelites for their rebellion and idolatry by destroying their infants at birth or in the womb, or preventing them from ever being conceived in the first place.
And despite all the fanciful claims about children being "spared" when Jesus returns, Matthew 24:19 has Jesus proclaim, "Woe to pregnant women and those who are nursing" at the End of Days.
God is perfectly fine with babies dying, provided they're the "right" babies - i.e. the mothers of said babies are filthy, adulterous, idolatrous sinners. I would ask whether Jill ever blames herself and the condition of her soul for suffering so many SEVERE miscarriages, but we all know she's too much of a narcissist for that.
