The premise of your brain evolution argument is flawed because you’re assuming nature absolutely wins over nurture in psychological development, which is what I assume you mean by “brain” here. I doubt there’s a particular physical brain configuration that gives rise to pro-life thoughts, although neither of us have proof.

No, I'm not. I'm only assuming that in matters of instinctive revulsion, nature puts her thumb heavily on the scales.

It's not as simple as having a "anti-abortion gene" or not, but there are some really interesting studies about this:
> A 2005 twin study examined the attitudes regarding 28 different political issues such as capitalism, unions, X-rated movies, abortion, school prayer, divorce, property taxes, and the draft. [...] Genetic factors accounted for 53% of the variance of an overall score.
