There is zero biblical support for the pro-life position. Zero. In fact, up until the civil rights era the Christian right was pro-choice. They adopted the pro-life position in an effort to make their segregationist positions more about "religious freedom" so they could continue to keep their private schools whites-only. Literally, when Roe was decided, the big names in the evangelical movement lauded the decision. The Catholic view is actually rooted in Aristotle's teachings, not those of of their Jewish forefathers or those of Jesus.
So yeah, I don't put much stock in the idea that God is against abortion. The Jewish law treated a fetus as property, not as a person, and our modern law shouldn't consider it a person, either.
