Sounds like you believe some lies. Jesus put a stop to the stoning of adulterous women because it was wrong. Read John 8:1-11. What you say about divorce in this post is true. I'm not sure what you're referring to about loans, but according to Proverbs it's unwise to borrow money. There's a passage in the old testament that talks about not charging your brothers (fellow believers) interest but in that passage it says it's okay to charge foreigners interest. Jesus did teach us to be generous to the poor, so I can see where charging them interest on a loan is wrong.
The Bible does NOT say divorce or lending is worse than abortion. That is an evil thing to say. The closest thing to modern-day abortion we see in the Bible is murder and throughout the bible, murder is portrayed as one of the worst things a person can do. Other than murder, there's not much about abortion in the bible. The bible says that God created our inmost being and knit us together in our mother's womb, which is where we get the "life begins as conception" argument. Then there's this story where a guy named Onan was sleeping with his brothers wife and wasted his semen on the ground to avoid giving offspring to his brother. The Lord put him to death because it was wicked, but it doesn't specifically say the wasting of semen was wicked. Everything about that specific incident was wrong. But the bible does not say divorce is worse than abortion. That's absurd.
