Noahide Law allows abortion up to the first 40 days: Book Review, The Rainbow Covenant

While the Noahide movement tries to use the abortion issue to league with Christians and Muslims, they forget to tell their friends that under Noahide Law, abortion is legal up until the first 40 days of pregnancy 

 This is a far more difficult and complicated subject than most commentaries suggest. Abortion, or feticide, is commonly regarded as "shedding the blood of man in man," and tantamount to "shedding the blood of man by man." So it violates the Rainbow Covenant law against murder. However, up to forty (40) days — not quite six weeks — after conception a human fetus is considered to be "mere water," "mere tissue," or really little more than a hairy egg. It may be destroyed without the imposition of any legal penalty. (Dallen, 2003, p. 194)
