Conservatives fought the war to ban abortion under the 'pro-life' banner. “Oh, those poor suffering, little angels. We have to save them all.” It is a crock - from a practical point of view, morally and philosophically. For almost 200 years, conservative churches did not speak much on the subject. And when they did, their usual belief was that life started at “the quickening” or “ensoulment”. This occurs at about 20 weeks into a pregnancy. Further, the Christian lawbook, the Bible, never mentions it.
