Types of abortion
 * Prevention - considered ok by everyone except some catholics and maybe other purists like Amish
 * Morning after pill - I consider still abortion. ? does any flesh leave the body or is it completely clean? Also, it might be possible that God does not deliver soul until later... idk when. But Psalm about womb
 * Chemical or invasive abortions at some point during pregnancy - most common is late-term ish with cutter and vaccum
 * At-birth
 * Post-birth - I think everyone considers this murder

Science
 * Heartbeat at ...24 days?
 * Beginning of brain signals
 * Supposed rapid evolution, gills which turn into vocal system

Legal arguments
 * By the common definition of death, fetuses are alive
 * Extra legal ramifications with pregnant woman - causing stillbirth or double-homicide
 * Animal cruelty if fetus is an animal

Common law
 * Do the parents absolutely own the child? Could they kill it after birth? Morally no, obviously. And society thinks that the government can step in. Socially enforced conformance. Can I torture? Spank? Not buy candy?

Theological Verses
 * Do not kill.
 * Stewardship of gifts (like child), image of God, valuable human
 * Psalm 139 God sees as David is made. Doesn't neccessarily say soul exists, just physical creation
 * Psalm 51:5-6 sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother concieved me. You desire faithfullness even in the womb. - Here the word concieve is definitely sex (like Jacobs colored sheep). Birth is definitely birth. It might be more poetic, about the struggle to make a child, but definitely more birth.

Legal cases Protest options
 * Roe vs Wade
 * Some legal cases about setting up a pro-life clinic down the hall from abortion center and trying to intercept.
 * Some legal cases about setting up a pro-life clinic down the hall from abortion center and trying to intercept.
