“So passover is equal to an endorsement of abortion?‘

Oh good grief.

Can’t claim god is pro life if he literally slaughters babies, everyone in a couple cities, or everyone on the planet except one family on a boat, or any of the other times mentioned in the Bible.

It’s a simple concept.

The death of the firstborn was not a matter of “slaughtering babies”; age was not a factor. Only that the firstborn of each family whose doors weren’t marked was killed (even the firstborn of all the beasts).

Why?

Because it was a punishment visited upon Egypt in response to the stubbornness of the Pharaoh, who still refused to release the Hebrews after all of the prior plagues.

For in Egypt, the Pharaoh owned all of the land, was seen as the intermediary between the Egyptians and their gods, and was responsible for maintaining balance and justice in the cosmic order itself; as such, Egypt suffered because of the sins of the Pharaoh.

A very different situation to abortion in the modern day.
