Abortion is prohibited to all mankind by the Hebrew text of Genesis 9:6. The so-called “Ten Commandments” are specific to Jews and do not negate the commandments given to all mankind previously.

So Jews still can't wear mixed blends, eh? My my, what a convoluted belief system. Some commandments are for everyone, some are for Jews, some are overturned by Jesus but only for converts. Reminds me of the parking signs in Los Angeles. No parking from 7pm-7am except for District 2 decals. No parking on Tuesday from 8-9. No parking Saturday and Sunday. 2 Hours only... all on the same pole.

I don't think your Genesis verse will work. Otherwise it would prohibit war, capital punishment, killing slaves, and disobedient children... no, I think it's time to face the cold, hard facts: abortion wasn't an issue back then and your all-seeing all-knowing God didn't foresee this situation enough to specifically prohibit it. The Jews are right. It's a non-issue that Christians have simply glommed onto in their efforts to battle sexual freedom. Losing battle.
