I agree with atlas. Life starts at conception, body - soul - spirit. I also believe abortion is 100% wrong 100% of the time.
Luke used the senario of his wife at risk of dying giving birth. I am getting married soon, so I have put much thought to this as well. It would be a very tough decision, but I believe it would still be wrong even in this case. There's no such thing as justifiable murder. The taking of human life is allowed in (a) time of war, and (b) self defence, or the defence of others. Abortion never falls under self defence. To defend requires there to be an attacker. An unborn child is not an attacker, the threat is not one of attack. Therefore in this case to have an abortion is trying take the situation out of God's hands and choosing to kill an innocent child instead of trusting God to do what is best.
