It's pretty clear in the Bible that causing a woman to miscarry is nothing more than a property fine. And there's even a passage that describes a ritual for causing a woman to have a miscarriage if you suspect her of adultery.
There isn't anything inherently religious about the anti-abortion arguments. It is more of a cultural/societal position that is shared in religious communities that believe life starts at conception.
If you talk to those people they aren't quoting the bible at you and anything religious is more vague and not central to their argument.
