Mafoo, while I understand your position, I don't agree with it. Most of the more religious people would tend to think that life begins at conception. I might go so far as to say that it begins before conception,
Jeremiah 1:4-5
4 The word of the LORD came to me, saying,

5 "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
before you were born I set you apart;
I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."

So... logically based on that, every life is planned and formed by God. If he "knows" you before hand, then at what point do you become a human? The only answer can be conception. This is from a Christian perspective.

 

Exodus 21:22-25: And if men struggle with each other and strike a woman with child so that she has a miscarriage, yet there is no further injury, he shall surely be fined as the woman's husband may demand of him; and he shall pay as the judges decide. But if there is any further injury, then you shall appoint as a penalty life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise.

I think this is a suitable counter passage supporting abortion. Basically, as long as no injury is occurred to the woman during abortion.

That is no abortion... that is an accident. A miscarriage. There was no intent to cause the miscarriage. Two or more guys are fighting and they accidentally hit her and she loses the baby. Then the guy who caused it has to pay a penalty. I don't see how you can think that is the same as a purposeful abortion.
