The verses you quoted prove only that children were BORN to the stated individuals. It says nothing of when life begins whatsoever. And HUMAN life is non-existent until there is a human SPIRIT in the body. Once again, dogma replaces truth at the expense of understanding on your part.
A body lies on the ground and exhibits no breathing, no heartbeat. It is still a HUMAN body, but the spirit has departed. Due to this departure, we say the body is DEAD, or NOT ALIVE, NO LONGER LIVING. It is not the absence of a heatbeat that makes this body dead, it is the absence of the spirit that makes it so. There is no difference between this and the recognition that a human spirit not yet inhabiting a human body makes it not yet alive, in the HUMAN sense of the word "life", disregarding the scientific definition since we are not trying to decide when science says life begins, but when GOD says it does. In case you don't have your hierarchy straight, God has the final say.
If, as you say, "life", HUMAN life, begins before birth, describe to us all the entirety of your pre-birth experiences, including surrounding trees, buildings, other persons present, activities in which they were engaged, and any other details you can prove. I'm sure we would all be fascinated to hear.
The Church is destroying its ability to carry out its ONLY mission -- Go ye unto all the world and preach the gospel in My Name -- by pursuing issues outside the parameters of the given mission. If it does not stop, there will never be another person who is now lost that will become His through efforts of The Church. If The Church had not abandoned its prior method, praying for lost souls, rather than attacking them, abortion would eventually become a non-issue. No one would avail themselves of its provisions if they all belonged to Him.
