There is nothing in the Bible that supports the "Right to Life" position. In fact, there are multiple entries that support abortion and the insignificance of the fetus. There are generally two defenses, the two men fighting and the eye for an eye, which doesn't really say what happens to the fetus, and the other is that dust or the earth blows up and forms the fetus (since Bronze-Age people did not know how reproduction worked) and that God knows their names before birth. Well, God also kills pregnant woman and causes fetuses to die so just because it is a fetus does not guarantee it's right to birth. BTW, the Bible states that life starts upon first breath. There is the passage that if a pregnancy is due to an affair that abortion drugs can be given, and multiple passages that cite the accidental cause of death of a fetus is met with just a fine.
The "Right to Life" position is just a control and fleecing mechanism churches use on their sheep.
