I say yes. i am a Christian, and i am prochoice. The Bible does not talk about zygotes, and there is literally no proof that life begins at fertilization. once more, the Bible talks about abortion, in numbers 5:11-31. Why do antichoice fanatics act like they corner the market on christianity? They don't.

numbers 5:11-31 is about the miscarriage of an unfaithful wife, not abortion. It's a trick were the guilty party is forced to admit the wrong because of action they must take.
I guess the issue just slipped gods mind...
Happens to the best of us...
To explain the trick, I think this story will make it more obvious: I judge with several suspects needs to know who is the offender, so he tells the suspects he has a magic bell, that will ring if they are guilty. They are all asked to touch the bell inside a private room 1 by 1 so they will know who is guilty.
When the suspects emerge, the judge inspects their hands to check for ink, which was placed on the bell in secret before the trial. The guilty member will have no ink on his hands, having not touched the bell out of fear, while the other suspects will touch the bell without fear, and stain their hands.

The majority of macroscopic multi-cellular life forms are not immortal the way single cells are, where they split in two so as to produce offspring, not killing the original but rather doubling it's potential. It is therefore dubious to say if one is the original and the child, or if the original is dead and replaced with two daughters. organisms that give birth through sexual reproduction the lines get fuzzy, however I would argue that the human race is not lots of individuals, but rather one organism with many independent parts, as such we are all connected through shared biology.
The abortion debate is one of definitions, at what point if ever should we consider something a person?
Is it when it develops a heart and brain? Or is it the moment two gametes merge to form a zygote? Is it based on an arbitrary time after conception?
Surely, there can be no answer to this question without making arbitrary assumptions.
If an omniscient god is capable of forming a grand plan that involves people, then how can it be that any action of man can destroy it? Or put another way, how can we say that a woman getting an abortion is not part of god's plan?

If a zygote is to be considered a unique person then cutting off your arm is suicide, even if you do it so that the rest of the body might live.
To make matters worse, your body has natural killer cells that are part of your immune system, and will cause cells to self-destruct should they become badly damaged or infected. This means that your own body is Killing itself constantly.

If abortion is murder because an undeveloped mindless brainless mass of cells is a separate life form, then everyone commits suicide, millions of times over every single day. Where are the 5th and 14th Amendments to the US Constitution when these cells, many of which could turn into cancer, which might be argued to be it's own person, are thoughtlessly slain?

If this technology proves capable, then it would not only be possible, but it would be inevitable that we could print entirely new people, people that would not have formed inside the womb. (not exactly, the cells still must be sourced from someone who was conceived in a womb)
Are you suggesting, that all of these people are forsaken, even though there is no difference between them and the person they were made from?
Would killing one of these people be murder then, if as you suggest they have no purpose or destiny?

There is no such physical entity as "soul" that has been demonstrated to exist in any way by anyone. "Soul" is a human concept, and whether a given object has a soul or not depends solely on one's perspective. In fact, Shintoism, a religion I am quite fond of, views all objects as having souls: not just humans and animals, but also plants, rocks, air and even imaginary categories like ideas or beliefs.
And even if "souls" actually exist, there is no reason for us to not be able to artificially craft new souls in a distant future. Since we do not even know what these souls are like, we cannot even remotely predict how they operate from the scientific point of view.
Humans create life every time they give birth, every time they turn on incubators on farms, and so on. That you do not acknowledge it as life due to your Christian beliefs does not change the fact that it is life by the biological definition of the world, and that is the only definition worth using here.

If a zygote is naturally conceived and then is removed from it's mother and placed in an artificial womb, why should that negate it's soul should one exist?
Or the other way, if a zygote is formed unnaturally, perhaps by reverting living cells to their zygote form, then this zygote is implanted into a woman and birthed naturally, why should that negate it's soul, should one exist?
If there is such a thing as a soul, then science should be capable of creating one, even if we do not at the moment have any ability to do so.
I can't even begin to think about what this would imply, but I suppose it is easiest to handle by assuming the soul is just something made up, or an elaborate and personal metaphysical construct.
There are all sorts of philosophical and spiritual issues that I don't think any existing religion is really capable of handling, now that the science and engineering is on the cusp of making such things a reality.

First off, there is nothing that says that a baby has to develop exclusively inside the mother, that is to say, babies could be developed in an artificial womb. This is another technology that is rapidly advancing, and perhaps in the future this will be the only way that babies are born.
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190326105650.htm
This is another one of those technologies that would just absolutely break the abortion debate, because if a mother doesn't have to suffer to raise a child why would she want to?
Furthermore, other technologies are already in use that kind of break the god put his image in DNA view, that I also find quite bizarre, although I respect your right to have an opinion. It is already possible to separate sperm and egg for particular traits, for example to remove a particular genetic disease. In the future it may be possible to completely choose which genetic characteristics one's children will have.
If their was a person who had completely unique DNA, ( either through random mutations starting from single celled zygote or one of it's gamete contributors, or intentionally through genetic engineering) would that then imply that they were not made by god, and on top of this, would this not imply that they were free from sin, having not been born directly from man?
I think you will agree that the bible doesn't discuss DNA, at least not as we currently understand it, as a physical characteristic of the body. Your views that put DNA on a pedestal I find quite...interesting...I don't think the bible is equipped to deal with the moral and philosophical implications of any of these things, which isn't surprising when you consider that it was written in a time before people were aware of any of the processes that go on to make birth happen.

Can you suggest an experiment that allows one to detect a soul existing outside a body? Do animals have souls? What about plants? Inanimate objects? Abstract concepts? What is the evidence of that?
As far as I am concerned, "soul" is a concept made up by ancient philosophers who did not have a good scientific explanation of how life works and prescribed an imaginary concept in the attempt to describe it. Nowadays science has a pretty good idea of how organic life works, and there is no need for imaginary concepts to fill the gaps in our knowledge any more.
Also, stop using quotations from the Bible as evidence. The Bible is just one book, not any more truthful than Lord of the Rings or 50 Shades of Grey. Give me an actual, demonstrable evidence of your claims, rather than vague passages from a book from over two millennia ago.

I searched for "bible suffering in childbirth" and the top list says there are 27 verses pertaining to labor pains...
John 16:21
"Whenever a woman is in labor she has pain, because her hour has come; but when she gives birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish because of the joy that a child has been born into the world.
https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Labour-Pains
So if there is no DNA from a father, then that would imply that the child was born without sin, would it not?

In fact, if you separate several of these cells you can actually develop them both into a person.
Sometimes it happens naturally.
We call those people identical twins, and it is possible for them to share 100% identical DNA, effectively making them a natural clone.

So, this would imply then that clones or genetically engineered people would be free from sin then?
Another thing that doesn't make much sense, where did Jesus's Y chromosome come from? The way conception works there would have had to be a source of the other half of the genome.
Stars formed, planets coalesced, and on at least one of them life took root.
Through a long process of evolution this life developed into the human race.
Humans conquered fire, built complex societies and advanced technology .
All of that so we can argue about nothing.

The zygote, or fertilized egg, is a single cell produced by fusion of female and male germ cells, that is, the unfertilized egg and sperm, respectively. Since germ cells undergo meiotic divisions to a haploid state (n) during oogenesis and spermatogenesis, fusion of the unfertilized egg and sperm (fertilization) restores a diploid (2n) number of chromosomes to the zygote. In mammals, the second meiotic division of the egg, with separation of chromatids, occurs shortly after fusion with sperm. At an appropriate time after fertilization, the zygote begins to divide mitotically, eventually giving rise to a multicellular organism that exhibits all of the characteristics of the species.
This is not cloning...this is unique life from an original blueprint given by God.

I am not discussing your or my beliefs. I am asking what evidence there is for anything having a soul. You claimed that you have seen many bodies absent a soul, but have you seen souls absent a body? Can we detect these floating souls with some scientific equipment, or are all claims of their existence exist purely in people's heads?
So far it seems that all your claims about souls come down to "I believe...". That is good and all; you can believe in souls, goblins, unicorns, Flying Sexy Potato Monster or whatever else. I am asking about the evidence, not your beliefs, and you have nothing to respond with.

In the case of the zygote I'm talking about after it is fertilized and developing into an embryo, as you can read in that copy/paste from wikipedia "he zygote begins to divide mitotically, eventually giving rise to a multicellular organism"
