What's the overlap between religious anti-abortion motivations and the sentiment that the fetus must be able to lead a life outside the womb? I hear a lot more about the "lead a life" as though it's a definite good, but not so much about the afterlife implications.
The bible (and God) don't say much about living life apart from the duties you have to praising God or treating each other one way or another (loving each other, stoning each other, etc.). The Judeo-Christian bible revels in stories of torment for the living, so being accessing life outside the womb is in no way intended to also access liberty or the pursuit of happiness. In fact, a delivered infant could be celebrated for a life of unremitting suffering (which seems sort of perverse, but I find the purpose of that God to be mysterious along with everyone else).
