>Also, “life begins at conception,” or at another very early stage, isn’t a Christian innovation. That’s the belief in Shia Islam.

This is a lie ("In Shia Islam, abortion is "forbidden after implantation of the fertilised ovum.", https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_and_abortion). I guess it never occurred to you why even the Sharia countries are not as extreme on abortion as Christian ones.

>Certain Sunni schools also prohibit abortion at any stage.

Obvious lie, ibid.

>Buddhist

Nope, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhism_and_abortion

>Same thing in Hinduism

Okay, so this one is not entirely wrong, just mostly wrong (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinduism_and_abortion).

Once again: "life from conception" is a fringe view specific to Catholicism and borrowed by other extremist branches.
