Very interesting. Just like marriage historically being a property law. With that information of course the church is taking such an adamant position on abortion and even contraception and masturbation: that was a tax-paying, indulgence-buying potential member of the church and state you just eliminated.
Having a support system, the adage "it takes a village..." yes, it makes sense practically. Institutionalized monogamy as sanctioned by a church or government is a purely social construct does not make sense.
Before the industrial revolution, lives actually mattered. Suicide was damaging a brick of society, homosexuality too, abortion too. I guess societies other than the catholic ones considered life as a resource.
Now we are degenerates wrt that vision. I say this as a fact, not as a moral condemnation. You are discussing the gravity of the sin of gluttony from the perspective of a society where food is extremely cheap. I say it's still a sin, with little practical consequences. Some might say it's less of a sin because consequences. OK whatever.
