But arguing that point much further is pointless,
Add to this other passages in the Bible that show God's high regard for unborn human life, and it is only by imposing your own politically liberal views on scripture that you're able to reach the distorted conclusion that God in anyway condones abortion.
Now to the situation where a woman is raped and becomes pregnant. The circumstance was forced on her, she didn't ask for it, she is emotionally distressed... but how does that make it right to then kill an innocent human life who has done nothing deserving of death?
...
Do you really think Jesus, who showed compassion to children while his disciples tried to shoo them away, would have given his approval to a woman who wanted an abortion after being raped?

And now you say that a woman who had consensual sex should be denied an abortion because she made a choice, but what if she was on birth control and it failed, or the condom broke at an inopportune moment, and that it was never her intent to become pregnant? If she is experiencing the same mental and emotional anguish as a rape victim because of the impending birth then why should she be denied the chance to remedy the situation with an abortion? Which woman you are willing to show compassion to seems arbitrary.
