The more likely reason people are pro-life is that they are ignorant.
Plus, the Bible says nothing about abortion, but it does say that if a woman is attacked by a man and miscarries, he has to pay a fine but its not a murder, so no eye for an eye. He only dies if the mother also dies. I know a lot of anti-choicers like to use a passage where God talks about knowing the person while they were still in the womb, but he's talking to a particular person and how that singular, particular person was a favourite because God specifically had plans for him before he was born, so it seems to say God doesn't have that kind of affection for most people.

Actually, most protestant evangelicals didn't give two shits about abortion until the 80s. It was seen as a Catholic problem and besides, scripture doesn't seem to support it. But when evangelicals fell in more with the right wing government, was feeling sad about itself after the movements of the sixties and seventies (civil rights, women's rights, gay rights, etc), attacking abortion became politically convenient and part of the backlash against women's liberation.

Also, I don't think its the literalists who think an exception should be made for **** and incest, like Santorum they have the idea that we should make lemons out of lemonade. I think it comes from people who want to punish sluts, rather than people who couldn't help it.
