That's a huge leap in logic from the case of the abnormal foetus to abortion on demand for any reason at any time up to and including the very act of delivery. Total non sequitur! Further, talk about selective quoting! If I were to quote some 12th century Jewish interpretation to you I would be laughed right out of here. Part of her thigh? there's a scientific answer for you. How can I respond to such logic? Man made laws are often wrong. Neither woman or blacks were afforded legal status as persons until quite recently. That changes nothing. The foetus genetically unique from the mother. That is a simple biological fact. "From a strictly scientific point of view, there is no doubt that the development of an individual human life begins at conception. Consequently, it is vital that the reader understand that she did not come from a zygote, she once was a zygote; she did not come from an embryo, she once was an embryo; she did not come from a fetus, she once was a fetus; she did not come from an adolescent, she once was an adolescent."(Dr. Francis Beckwith) The passage you site says the opposite of what you assert. "Thus interpreted, this passage is not being used but abused to support abortion. Let's take a closer look at what the Hebrew text (as correctly translated by the NIV) really says: "If men who are fighting hit a pregnant woman and she gives birth prematurely but there is no serious injury [the implication here is that no death is involved], the offender must be fined whatever the woman's husband demands and the court allows. But if there is serious injury, you are to take life for life [in other words, if the woman or child should die, the appropriate punishment is death]."" Life for Life!!!!! Last time I checked women and cows were different. But if you decide to sell your wife, I guess you will have to throw your unborn child in with the deal. "Would you act to prevent this primeval organism from experiencing this senseless and tragic suffering and pain?? I am just curious as to what makes you tick." Let me ask you a question first. Assuming the same child slipped through and was born. WOULD YOU KILL IT???????
