The notion of having some kind of moral high ground based upon religious principle is absurd. The Bible is rife with Godly demands for the murder of all sorts of folk including children (1 Samuel 15:3).

Specifically, Numbers 5:20-27 prescribes ritualistic abortion if a woman has cheated on her husband. A thorough reading of the Bible gives one the understanding doesn't care about fetuses or children. He cares about the subjugation of women and everyone in their "proper" place in His hierarchy.




Regardless of what the Bible actually says there is undeniably a massive religious component to the anti-abortion movement.
