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.

I never really thought about it, but idea of a fetus inside a woman having any sort of power over a middle eastern man 2000+ years ago does seem rather farfetched.
