The mainstream pro-life arguments are already not religious.  There isn't really a Biblical argument to make against abortion (at least from the Christian Fundamentalist positon.) 

You're going to have to elaborate here.

If you're intent on reading the Bible literally, there isn't really a strong case to be made against abortion. 

Then why do so many Christians oppose abortion?

It's pretty close to 50/50 actually.  Only 51% of Christians believe abortion should be illegal in all/most circumstances.


I’ll rephrase: why do so many Christians who do oppose abortion use religious arguments to argue against abortion?
