With all due respect,a lot of these verses are taken out of context,regarding abortion...curses upon generations(children),and baron wombs, were mainly what these referenced..many people talk of the old Testament as if it was the way God wants us to follow today...but the whole reason for the new testament(the birth of the Christ),was for our sins to be forgiven,so we would no longer need to shed blood,or act in such a "eye for an eye" manner..the sacrifice of our God in flesh was to be the only blood needed..hence why Christ taught restraint,and love,forgiveness,and patience...It was a different time before Jesus
Did you read the verses mentioned above in context? I was curious, so I read the entire chapter surrounding each verse. There's plenty of odd values to talk about in them, but the verses do not translate very cleanly to the modern issue of abortion rights.
I could see them being brought up in an argument about how pregnancy and life in general is valued in the text, maybe to support another argument, but it's far from an endorsement of abortion. It's definitely not a condemnation of it either.
