Hi Jeff, thank you so much for your response.

I understand your response to Jeremiah 1:5. As I mentioned in my article, God was speaking specifically to Jeremiah. There is no indication that he wanted that verse to extend to any other person nor the whole human race.

I also came across the Psalms written by David. Here, David is expressing what he believes; that he was created by God. Every Christian believes that they were created by God. But this verse doesn't also indicate if God places equal value on the fetus as he places on a grown human. There is only one Bible passage that addresses this (Exo 21:22-23), which I covered in my article.

Regarding your last point, most people are pro-choice. This includes committed Christians, Jews, Muslims, etc. People are pro-life are actually in the minority.
