The soul of the unborn hovers around the mother's body going in and out of the womb until the child is born and takes it's first breath.
Prior to that in the womb the child is a vehicle waiting for the total entry of the soul, thusly a complete human being.
An aborted entity that looses the chosen body will seek other alternative parents, etc., to create reincarnation.
With some Native American tribes women took herbs to abort a fetus and or render herself sterile.
The anti-abortionist do not, of course, take this into account having created their own "theme park" to play in. Rarely do these people realize that if a woman cannot support a child financially, etc., this is her only alternative. Speaking for myself, I would have never wanted to give a child up for adoption forever worried about his/her circumstances.
