Judaism was never a proselytizing faith. I think more so before they finally made their peace with Rome, and they were an expansive faith, open to gentiles and encouraging large families. Christian opposition to infanticide/abortion came directly from Judaism or so I understand.

I once heard a Rabbi say that life begins with the first heart beat. The simple statement, however brief, pretty much sums it up for me.
