If the Bible supports abortion, then it doesn't forbid the taking of life in any circumstance. Your white blood cells claim bacterial life all the time, after all. I don't know how stringently 'support' is being defined here. I doubt that the Bible even specifically endorsed breathing, either. However, when the text makes it clear that an unborn fetus is of no, or at best very little value, then you could say that it, at the very least, does not condemn abortion, unlike a pro-life position.
Even if the text does not specifically command abortion (which it sort to of does in the first quote) that does not equal pro-life.
