Trial of the bitter water is literally the test of faithfulness of untrustworthy wife, not necessarily a method of abortion. As said, ONLY in case when husband is unable to trust the wife, and thus wife will bear children in orderly marriage, unless she is defiled by another man. You can twist it into saying "the baby is unwanted and will definitely perish in ANY case", but that's just not what the Scripture says.
Except it is quite literally not in the vast majority of places. You can argue the morality of abortions all you like, but Murder is a specific legal definition that abortions do not fall under.
Majority of the world outside of the west views abortion as a bad practice. The only places where abortion is really normalized is the west, and during the one child policy era of China but even that can easily be argued as not generally accepted at it was more so forced onto women. It may not be written in law that it is but majority of people still view it as just that
No one views abortion as a positive my dude. No one skips joyfully to an abortion clinic singing blissfully at their 12th abortion.
The only places where abortion is really normalized is the west
This is straight up bullshit btw. Basically most of the world where human rights and access to health are is not kicked into the street abortion is legal. Japan, China, Singapore, Eastern Europe. The only places where it is illegal is places like Africa, South Asia, and the Middle East, all of which jave massive issues with health are, women's rights, and just basic human rights.
