Name: Mashed Turnips with Roasted Garlic
Ingredients: 1 1/2 lb Small turnips, peeled and quartered (675 g); 1 Ripe Bartlett pear, about 6 oz. (118 g), peeled, cored, and chopped; 4 cl Garlic, roasted and peeled; 1 tb Margarine (15 g); 2 tb Skim milk - optional (30 ml); 1/4 ts Salt - optional (1.25 ml); Freshly ground pepper to taste

The Bible does not deal specifically with abortion. For that matter, it does not deal specifically with infanticide, the killing of babies. Nor does it talk about parricide, fratricide, uxoricide (killing of one's wife), nor genocide (the killing of a whole race). Examples of such crimes are mentioned, but not singled out for special treatment. In fact, the Bible does not even discuss suicide (self-killing). There are specific provisions against homicide – the deliberate taking of human life (“killing” or “slaying” is the usual expression). The Bible prohibits the taking of innocent human life. If the developing fetus is shown to be a human being, then we do not need a specific commandment against feticide (abortion) any more than we need something specific against uxoricide (wife-killing). The general commandment against killing covers both.
