Let's Split the Baby

From Walburga's fave James Taranto of the Wall Street Journal:

"The New York Times's Nicholas Kristof has a "Religion and Sex Quiz" that aims to deny that sexual moralists can find support for their views in the Bible. Here's the first question:

1. The Bible's position on abortion is:

a. Never mentioned.

b. To forbid it along with all forms of artificial birth control.

c. Condemnatory, except to save the life of the mother.

The answer: "A. Abortion is never mentioned as such." That "as such" is a pretty big qualifier, but in a Solomonic spirit, we'd like to propose a truce: Antiabortion advocates will quit asserting the Bible backs their position, and in exchange, pro-abortion ones will drop the claim that the Constitution supports theirs."
