==Antiquity==
In ancient times, abortion was a commonplace practice in pagan nations which rejected biblical Jewish values. Both Pagan Greece and Pagan Rome, which controlled the nation of Israel for periods of time, promulgated the notion that the womb was a sex organ where babies "could be murdered."<ref name=jewishattitudes>[http://internetbiblecollege.net/Lessons/Hebrew%20And%20Jewish%20Attitudes%20To%20Abortion%20And%20Infanticide.pdf Hebrew And Jewish Attitudes To Abortion And Infanticide].

The Roman historian [[Tacitus]] noted his contemporary Jewish viewpoints towards abortion as regarding the act to constitute moral abhorrence. He wrote on the Jews:<ref>Tacitus, Cornelius (cir. 110 A.D.). [https://www.livius.org/sources/content/tacitus/tacitus-on-the-jews/ Tacitus on the Jews]. ''Livius.org''.

{{cquote|Though a most lascivious people, the Jews avoid sexual intercourse with women of alien race. Among themselves nothing is barred. They have introduced the practice of circumcision to show that they are different from others. Proselytes to Jewry adopt the same practices, and the very first lesson they learn is to despise the gods, shed all feelings of patriotism, and consider parents, children and brothers as readily expendable. However, the Jews see to it that their numbers increase. It is a deadly sin to kill an unwanted child, and they think that eternal life is granted to those who die in battle or execution—hence their eagerness to have children, and their contempt for death.}}
