There is also anthropological linguistic scholarship indicating that passage was altered at some later time. Moreover, the passage speaks on temple practices. Plus, linguistic scholarship also tells us that the word used to describe the "beloved servant" of the Faithful Centurion meant something more akin to "same-sex lover" or "male concubine" – and listeners of the day would have known the meaning of the term; yet, the centurion was known to be a just and faithful man. When Jesus was presented with a same-sex relationship of the "Faithful Centurion," not only did He not condemn it, He praised the faithfulness and strength of belief of the centurion.

As for abortion, the only direct reference to it I've ever found in scripture is in Numbers chapter 5 when the priest is MANDATED to FORCE an abortion upon a woman at the mere suspicion – with no requirement of evidentiary proof – of infidelity by her husband. We also know that Jewish religious law and tradition always held the life and health of the pregnant woman above that of the fetus; in effect, abortion rights are Jewish religious rights.
