"You know as well as I do that one could justify about anything using, interpreting, or citing the Bible, including loving and/or killing one's neighbor"

sarai...

That is utterly false, unless words and passages are taken out of context, twisted and perverted. If the Bible is taken in context, what you say cannot be done.

Off the top of my head, I cannot remember a reference to us as "garden keepers", but that does not mean there is not one. My guess would be that it was derived from God's command to Adam to tend the garden (of Eden), and it would take a really big stretch indeed to use that as an argument for abortion.

If you or someone else could provide a passage, I would be glad to look at it.

When studying the Bible, as I noted above, you cannot just take portions of scripture out of context and use that for an argument for something unrelated that goes against more clear teachings of the Bible.
