There is nothing in Christian Scripture suggesting, much less stating, that abortion(feticide) is a moral issue. It's just not in there.
On the other hand, "Life Cycle of a Primate" is solid elementary science. Basic biology. Unquestionably proven science. We living human beings are all individuals somewhere on the trajectory between conception and death. That's utterly unambiguous science.
I understand that primitive people, like the ones who created Scripture, didn't understand that. They thought that people were alive when they had breath. Not breathing meant they weren't alive.
Also, women and children weren't really persons. They were chattel, which isn't the same.
Then there was the fact that primitive people saw children as a huge asset. Children could be put to work, earning their keep, while in single digit age. Parents weren't expected to support them with education and medical care and proper nutrition and such. But kids were the "social security" of the time. Grow old without competent children and you'll probably die an unpleasant death.
The modern world is different. Christian culture is extremely Prodeath. Has been for awhile, but now there's no doubt. From preemptive invasions like Iraq and Ukraine, to environmental degradation, to "Build a Wall" so those central Americans die on their side,
really, the list is endless. Christians are the most Prodeath culture I know about. Have been for centuries.
A cursory knowledge of Western History will demonstrate that to any critical thinking person.
