This quote has nothing to do with abortion--it is confirmation of Jeremiah as a prophet. The only place in the Bible that abortion seems to be mentioned is in Exodus Ch.21. Exodus 21 catalogs ancient Jewish law. If you look you will see that murder is punishable by death. On the other hand, causing a woman to have a miscarriage has a penalty of a fine to be paid to her husband.
The one and only mention of abortion in the Bible does NOT recognize a fetus as equivalent to a full human being, nor does it equate abortion with murder.
