Having to do with those who believe abortion is murder as a result of their Christian beliefs: there is a passage in the Bible that discusses a similiar issue to abortion.
This passage has to do with assault against pregnant women and states that any person who harms a woman so that she loses her child will have to pay a fine to the woman to make up for the loss of the child.
Now, extrapolating from this it becomes clear that the Bible (at least in this instance) treats an unborn child as property, not life, as the penalty for accidentally 'aborting' a fetus is civil and not criminal.
Something to think about.

That's really interesting.
Most Christian pro-lifers would probably say that's a part of the bible that you're not supposed to take literally.
