John 3:4-6
Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Verse 5 says that you can't enter the kingdom of God unless you have been physically born. "Born of water" refers to physical birth as clarified (as if it wasn't already clear enough) by verse 6 "That which is born of the flesh is flesh."
So, since the unborn cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven, either God has it in for the unborn, or they are not yet souls. The idea that the unborn are not yet souls is supported by other bible verses as well and there are none that contradict this point of view. Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that abortion isn't a sin according to the bible - just not murder.
