Depends on denomination. For the UCC and Methodist types who take most of the Bible in an allegorical sense, likely yes. For those who tend to take the Bible literally, likely no.

Except that in the Bible God makes women miscarry, outlines his own abortion procedure in Numbers and in Exodus considers a foetus less than a person under the Law.

Gee, when did all the first century Judaizers get reincarnated on Atlas?

Yeah, let me explain how:

Step One: Be a Christian. (or Jew, or Muslim)

Step Two: Decide that you're pro-choice on the issue of abortion.

slight fix but otherwise yes and thank you

This. Seriously, this thought that extreme pro-lifers have, that Fetus=Baby is an indisputable fact and as such applies to everything, is the peak of arrogance.

Yes.

Being a Christian, Jew, or Muslim depends on your faith and belief in God/Jesus/Muhammad and whatever creed that follows, not your politics or views on abortion.

Sure it's possible, but it requires a little cognitive dissonance.

I consider myself a pro-choice Catholic, and I hate myself for it in some regard.

This is the one issue where I tear myself apart over.  I guess I would just never support it in a personal sense.

Sure, just reject the concept of ensoulment at conception, no big deal.

I don't support abortion, and definitely not taxpayer funding of it, but I don't believe the government should be able to ban it.

I'm a Mormon btw

Today I learned that being overzealous on abortion grants one the authority to dictate the theological decrees of religions other than one's own.

The vast majority of Jews are pro-choice by the way, and even Orthodox Jews accept abortion to save the life of the mother.
