Interesting. We know that morality is natural to us, but obviously there are some difference in the details from what we can see in various cultures modern, historic and pre-historic (and maybe we can even add post-modern). Revelation helps us to purify our instinctive morality from some undesireable accretions.

Abortion.what would be some undesirable accretions?
That’s the culmination of a long process of convoluted moral reasoning which has in the end produced a profoundly unnatural act.

Christian Revelation all came within the first century AD (ending with the death of St. John the last Apostle). Our understanding of it does deepen over time.
What exactly do you mean with regard to slavery?

In the context of the OP’s post and your response, you apparently assume that all pro-choice people are agnostic/atheist and that all pro-life people believe in god.Abortion.

Totally false assumptions.
Abortion is legal in a country where over 90 percent of the people believe in the Abrahamic God.
Don’t blame abortion on nonbelievers. If they were the only ones who supported it, it wouldn’t be legal.

Revelation purifies our moral reasoning, but it isn’t strictly necessary, and of course does nothing for people who ignore it anyway.
Pure reason is perfectly capable of seeing how unnatural abortion is.
