There’s neither scientific fact nor biblical teaching to support this position though. I often see “Thou shall not murder” as a defense for antiabortion policies, but it takes an unsupported leap to call it murder to begin with. Genesis says that life begins at first breath, which is far after most societies consider abortions legal and moral.

There’s also no indication that people even used to think that life began in utero, and that anything less than a fully formed infant was alive and capable of surviving.
