To make a long story short, I would like someone to debunk, if you will, the argument of prochoice based on the following scripture used as supporting scripture for pro choice -
Ecclesiastes 6:3-5
Ecclesiastes 4:1-3 (both abortion and euthanasia)
Job 3:2-4,11-19
Job 10:18-19
Exodus 21:22-25
Leviticus 27:6 (used to determine value of life)

As I said, I am not looking for a debate. I am not looking for personal opinion. I would like to know the validity and perhaps misuse of the text above, and other supporting text for pro-life. Any takers?
Dan, this isn't based on a version I am reading, I just didn't have time to read any of the scripture other than what was highlighted. But thanks everyone for the input and thanks for clarifying the context of the verses
 
Ecclesiastes 4:1-3, firstly, is saying that the people living at the time were literally, in bad shape. He's saying that those already dead, or those yet to be concieved, had it better than those living on the earth at that time.

In Job 3:2-4, he's lamenting over his current situation, not saying he wish he was aborted...what version are you reading?!
Reading on, Job is lamenting his OWN situation through the whole book, but you're misinterpreting it if you think he's saying he wishes he was aborted....abortion and never being born are ENTIRELY different ballgames.
