If Jesus had never been born, how would we know that abortion is wrong?

Okay, let's say that abortion IS wrong (and in most circumstances, i.e. healthy pregnancy and the parents can afford to take care of a child, I think it is) why would you need Jesus to know that it's wrong? I believe that murder is wrong and I don't even believe in a god. To me it's scary when people say that they don't know right from wrong without the Bible. What if you run into a novel situation? Then what?
But since abortion is not wrong, therefore Jesus had never been born.
The best counter to a word salad argument is to toss it right back.
"If Jesus had never been born"
...then God could have just 'poofed' himself in human form, along with all the animals, this world & all the life on it. And for the life of me, I'll never figure out - if he's as 'omnipotent' as he claims - why this so-called 'God' couldn't have done exactly the same, re the first humans Adam & Eve - never mind himself - could he not...?!
"how would we know that abortion is wrong?"
Oh, I dunno. As exampled in Hosea 13:16 (emphasis added):
'Samaria will be held guilty, For she has rebelled against her God. They will fall by the sword, Their little ones will be dashed in pieces, And their pregnant women will be ripped open. '
...you tell me .

"So when did Jesus say anything about abortion?"
Or homosexuality, for that matter?:

Only very poor people should have abortions. Interesting concept,
Because Jesus clearly stated that abortion is wrong and evil in the bible, obviously...
...or at least that's what one is led to believe from the way fundie Christians talk.
The sheer ridiculousity of this quote actually made me laugh out loud.
Then I realized how sad it actually is, because we're talking about a brainwashed teenage girl who has probably never actually done much research into the Bible for herself and is just going by what everyone else tells her is in there.
Is abortion wrong? Or is it more wrong to bring a child into this world that is unwanted, unloved and will be neglected all of its life?
The Bible doesn't say that abortion is wrong. It states a number of times that embryos, fetuses and children younger than forty days AFTER BIRTH are not relevant. According to the Bible, only children who managed to live at least 40 days outside the womb were viable, and important enough to be counted "among their people".

What if your brother was born but your parents didn't have the money to raise him and put him into the vicious system that are orphanages and foster care, having to grow up not knowing who his real parents were and why did they abandon him instead of keep him and love him like their own? How do we know that's wrong?
Hint: BECAUSE IT MAKES YOU FEEL AWFUL, DOESN'T IT.
If I were that child, I'd rather have been aborted than be born and live a life of hell.
huh?
erm, I don't follow.

First, non-sequitur. Second, "we" don't know that abortion is wrong. You seem to be claiming it's wrong, but provide no reasons to back up that claim. It's going to be difficult to convince me anyway, seeing as how I support women's reproductive rights.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
