I just go by Scripture which never forbids abortion. The Bible actually approves abortion to be administered by the priest under Levitical Law:
"But if you have gone astray while married to your husband and you have made yourself impure by having sexual relations with a man other than your husband”— here the priest is to put the woman under this curse— “may the Lord cause you to become a curse among your people when he makes your womb miscarry and your abdomen swell. May this water that brings a curse enter your body so that your abdomen swells or your womb miscarries.” Numbers 5:20-22 NIV
If abortion is evil, then God must be evil!!
It appears that God has authority to bring about a miscarriage. Likewise he may demand anyone's life at any time. It should be clear that when God kills someone it isn't murder. But man takes matters into his own hands to kill it is murder.
And since this is a curse obedience to Christ would forbid it, as he forbids cursing.
Moreover there are many scriptures where the shedding of innocent blood is revealed as sin. Fetus' have their own blood after the placenta forms so at the very least mid and late term abortion is shedding innocent blood.
And it is true what is written:
Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths.
