"Scripture and church history are largely silent on the issue. Hence, pro-life Christians should pause before condemning a practice the Bible does not expressly mention, let alone forbid."

'Largely silent' is not totally silent.

Although the Bible does not *specifically* mention 'abortion', it DOES give the example where someone cause physical harm to a pregnant woman, causing her to miscarry (and that's a pretty close example to my mind).

It SPECIFICALLY says that this may be penalized, but it IS NOT 'murder', like it would be if the woman had died.
