There was a time when we were barbarians. There is no such thing as a "quickening" You've been watching too much Highlander . Babies are given a Soul from G-d upon conception. We are not China. We don't limit the number of children we can have..What's wrong with you people?
there is no God.
There are no souls.
The difference between advanced countries and poor ones is that we DO limit our family sizes.
Now, here's the thing. Having 10 kids might have made sense in an era when the infant mortality rate was something like 50%, and you had a very low chance of making it to adulthood. and sadly, that describes most of the human race all the way up until the 20th century, before we eliminated Polio and Smallpox and Measles and made food production a lot more reliable.
Today, it really doesn't.
Is abortion the ideal method of birth control? Not really. But is a method used when others are unavailable.
