Christians haven't always thought of unborns as human beings. In fact one author traces the change of opinion to some time after 1979. http://www.patheos.com/blogs/slackti...he-happy-meal/ This means that despite what conclusion you want to draw from unborns not being buried.. Christianity has not typically counted unborns as human beings until relatively recently. Further, it seems the number of unborn burials and memorial services are increasing and I think this is directly tied to Christianity's new position that an unborn is a human being. Therefore my originial assumption that unborns are not buried and given funerals means that they were counted as less than born human beings seems absolutely correct when all this evidence is taken into consideration.

Be that what it may we are now able to see infants in the womb via sonogram and laparoscopy. We are able to save their lives at very early gestational ages outside the womb and technology will roll that age back even further soon. So we now KNOW they are human, feel pain, respond to stimulus, etc. If people were unsure before they can certainly be sure now from a medical standpoint, religion aside.
I don't think any scripture is going to satisfy you frog and it's the reason I haven't quoted any... but aborting healthy babies from healthy mothers does not fit the 'Be fruitful and multiply' model at all.
