In the beginning God created man. He created us in His own image. Scripture tells us that He formed us in the womb. God chose to conceive His only son Jesus in the womb of the woman Mary. God certainly considers us alive at conception.
GENESIS 1:26
And God said, Let us make man in or image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27- So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Jeremiah 1:5
Before I formed thee in the belly, I knew thee; and before thous camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
Luke 1:31
And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.

God is our creator and how are we to say to Him that one of His creations are not worthy of life?
Romans 9:20
Nay but, O man, who art thou that replies against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?

Jeremiah 32:35
And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.
See also Jeremiah 7:31 andJeremiah 19:5
Matthew 2:16
Then Herod, when He saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethelehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men.
We are to stand in the gap for the unborn and be voices for them who cannot speak for themselves. We also need to stand in the gap and extend grace, mercy, love and compassion to women and men who are facing an unplanned pregnancy. We are to love and extend mercy, grace and compassion to the women and men who are suffering because they chose to have an abortion. God see us and He sees our hearts, we are and will be accountable before Him
Rescue those who are unjustly sentenced to die;
save them as they stagger to their death.
Don’t excuse yourself by saying, “Look, we didn’t know.”
For God understands all hearts, and he sees you.
He who guards your soul knows you knew.
He will repay all people as their actions deserve.
Proverbs 24:11-12 NLT
Children are a blessing from the Lord we are fearfully and wonderfully made!
3 Sons are a heritage from the LORD,
children a reward from him.
4 Like arrows in the hands of a warrior
are sons born in one's youth.
5 Blessed is the man
whose quiver is full of them.
They will not be put to shame
when they contend with their enemies in the gate.
Psalm 139: 13
For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
Psalm 139:14
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
