In the Torah, it seems, the unborn is not considered fully human.

Theologian Millard Erickson notes that in this view, "the lex talionis [life for life] is applied only if the mother is harmed. On this basis it is concluded that the fetus was not considered a soul or a person, and thus is not to be thought of as fully human." [2]


Whatever? Who cares? That one tribe considers the fetus not yet “human”? So what? We can reverse that decision...UNLIKELY, though...

It is all stupid nonsense in light of what the scientific community now understands. ALL life is related. The right to your body embraces the right to life. Otherwise we are just dealing with superstition and irrationality and force--such as what caused the Holocaust and the Dark Ages.
