LOL, you know what, no matter what falls out of the mouth of the believer, if he then says "it's in the bible" I'm likely to believe him. It's a big damn book. Seriously though Hunry, he is in effect asking you for proof of his concept. That concept being an absolute moral authority. That's his job, not yours. What you feel about a fetus or life, or morality needs only stand up to your own opinions. That's all you need to justify. Your standards of morality are not absolute, but they are an authority....an authority as to your own opinions of morality. The science he brought up is irrelevant. If it were definitively shown that a fetus isn't a human life (it has been..at least here in the US), that wouldn't bother him in the least. He's taking agreement where it suits him and discarding the vast body of knowledge that directly contradicts his underlying point. Gods, souls, sins, and punishment.
Don't let people do this with you. They argue an ancillary point to exhaustion, and then conclude victory to their main point. Either he doesn't realize he's doing this, or your friend is literally bs'ing you. If you're accurately representing your friends argument to us, I'd be pretty inclined to treat him poorly. That's just me.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
