It's not about defending abortion, nobody likes it, and it is a last mean for a person to handle that problem and usually for a person to save her life. That's why atheists are trying to solve that problem by letting gays adopt kids, by educating people in sex, by making contraception more available, and so on, most of which you and those like you object and just want to force women into doing what you think is your God ordering you to do.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
