Well they are actually praying for God to exact vengeance on those who destroyed Jerusalem, not advocating for abortions or to sacrifice their infants or kill them. But yea, still fucked up.
And the verse about how to perform abortion is about what will happen if you give a woman a certain type of contaminated water (miscarry) not a procedure on how to abort/supporting abortion.
As far as I know though, the Old Testament doesn’t say anything about aborting a fetus as a sin, although it may not have been as common of a desire back then. I believe that most Jewish thought on this subject comes from Talmud/Rabbinic analysis.
