Jeremiah 1:5 tells us that God knew each and every one of us long before we were formed in the womb.

If we used religion to try and argue against another person's actions, not everyone will be taken into consideration because there are thousands of religoins; not one can be applied to everyone, but abortion is a worldwide situation that is best solved by the person getting one, and everyone else's opinions don't matter.

Indeed, it's accurate that the use of religious arguments can be exclusionary, as not everyone adheres to the same beliefs. However, ethical debates like abortion often encompass a variety of perspectives, including religious, philosophical, and scientific.

When life begins is irrelevant to the issue of abortion, since no person has the right to use another person's body without their consent to begin with. Only you have the right to decide who can or cannot use your body, at any time, for any or no reason, so the argument that the status of life of another person should somehow deny you your right of bodily autonomy is just ridiculous. The only policy that respects all perspectives is a pro-choice policy, because then those who are against abortion do not have to get one, and those who do want one can still have one.

Religion cannot be used as an argument when the situation will dictate a woman's life. I'm sorry, but the Bible means nothing in the face of science and the way life works. When a child is aborted it feels absolutely nothing, it is not even aware of it's own existence.
The same people who use the "all life is valuable" argument are very likely to have purposefully killed a pest that is the same size as a fetus.
You say that it is inhumane because we are taking the life from a child (who, by the way has not even started it's life yet), but what about the one who… Read more

First of all, we are not a theocracy, so what your god or scripture says is completely irrelevant.
Secondly, your god has ordered the killing, and even committed the killing himself, of plenty of pregnant women and babies before, so I really don't think he cares as much as you think...
