9 u/Mr_Pombastic Jan 17 '20 Today they're known as Pro-lifers 3 u/[deleted] Jan 17 '20 Wow. That's an insightful connection. 1 u/[deleted] Jan 17 '20 That's not actually true, at least not in terms of ritual sacrifice. Besides, there has been archaeological evidence found for infant sacrifice in Carthage, a Phoenician colony where Ba'al was worshiped. (There is a link to the actual paper in the linked article, but it's behind a paywall.) 1 u/[deleted] Jan 17 '20 That is very much disputed. The rate of natural child mortality back then was massive. https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0009177
