I thought Christianity is like that because it was based on Judaism, and Judaism is like that because the Hebrews kept getting killed. Hard to keep a people if they don’t reproduce and you are constantly enslaved or at war.
Judaism puts health and safety of individuals over anything else, including the religion. A doctor can work on the shabbos if someone’s life is in need, a mother can get an abortion if their life is in danger, and a starving man can eat pork if it is the only sustenance they have.
The King James Bible actually gives advice on how to abort a baby if it was conceived out of wedlock. Not to mention all the time it said life begins at the first breath. It seems to be more about controlling women than anything else.

Modern Christianity seems to prohibit abortion. Historical and modern Judaism seems fine with abortion.

Judaism isn’t really fine with abortion. Just allows it in certain situations, especially if the mothers health in in danger.
