Try millennia. It is mentioned almost 4000 years ago. It likely wasn't new then.

If you contend that Jesus was against it, why did he never mention abortion or infanticide? It isn't like either was rare during his lifetime. He did talk about the evils of wealth. He did talk about men lusting in their hearts. But abortion and infanticide he was totally silent about. As he was about slavery. To claim that he was against such practices flies in the face of his teachings. All were common at the time, yet he ignored them.

I was very devout at one time. Studied the Bible, history and the writings of Biblical scholars. I lost my religion fair and square. Too many inconsistencies and claims that just didn't match up with the source material.

Like the claim about abortion.

Now as to Jesus actually having lived, there very well may have been a Jesus of Nazareth. But the miracles? I am with Thomas Jefferson on that. Didn't happen. And without the miracles he was just a rabbi trying to reform his people. One with some pretty great ideas, just not divine. I see little evidence in the New Testament that he regarded his status as son of God any different than anyone else. In his view, we are all equally children of God...
