Mike, you are absolutely right, accidental death, was not punishable by death, there were seven cities were the perpetrator could escape to to seek refuge from the "lynching mob". At best, like the death penalty, abortion rights or the lack thereof, should be left to the states. I for one am against the death penalty, particularly when the burden of proof can be based only on circumstantial evidence (the bible dictates that the death penalty be imposed if and only if there were two eye witnesses to the act). As for abortion, I am more concerned for the mental residues left with a women that for whatever reason had to chose abortion (like a selfish male partner that refused after copulation the required sharing of the responsibility a newborn entails), than with the notion that the law of "Multiply" was interfered with. As I have said before, imposing the dictum "thou shall multiply" (and thus forbidding abortion) should not be a matter of law, but of religion, just as you would not expect the law to control male masturbation. (maybe you do?). Zeev
