Good point.  I was overreaching on the abortion killings.  The bible does not 
directly forbid abortion.  This is more interpretation of when life begins

This makes it even more fun to read Mark 10:4-5, which seems to have Jesus 
admitting that Moses wrote an Old Testament commandment because the people 
wanted it, not because it was actually a command from god.
