The verse quoted applies ONLY to Jeremiah unless you are asserting we are all prophets to the nations and is a comment on God's fore-knowledge not Jeremiah. The Bible never addresses abortion but from the comments it does make, it is quite clear that human life became so at the first breath drawn outside the womb. Even then, children were not counterd for the purposes of census until they were a month or so old.
Your logic here is just deeply flawed. You are suggesting that G-d ONLY formed the prophet and knew him before his birth. This is a logically deeply flawed line of thought. The principle here is clear, G-d knew Jeremiah BEFORE he was born.
Your view on this is completely contrary to scripture. Exodus 21:22-23 "If men struggle with each other and strike a woman with child so that she gives birth prematurely, yet there is no injury, he shall surely be fined as the woman's husband may demand of him, and he shall pay as the judges decide. 23 "But if there is any further injury, then you shall appoint as a penalty life for life, 24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise.
G-d considers just the mere fact that a pregnant woman is STRUCK to be a serious enough offense that those that injure the pregnant woman are liable for substantial fines. And if there is a serious injury to either the penalty is very severe up to and including DEATH.
Exodus establishes the fact that G-d considers the baby in the womb to be a LIFE.
Furthermore, your assertion regarding census is factually wrong. Numbers only counts the MEN in their census. And of those, only men age 20 and older. Women and children are not counted at all. Which clearly renders your thesis that children are not considered of value and worth counting utterly and completely void of merit.
