Analysis of Exodus 21:22 and Its Implications
Exodus 21:22 discusses a scenario in which a pregnant woman is harmed during a fight, leading to potential miscarriage. Some interpretations suggest this verse condones abortion by implying that the life of an unborn child is less valuable than that of an adult. However, the argument presented clarifies that the text does not explicitly endorse abortion, as even an accidental miscarriage should not equate to diminished human value. Instead, the fines incurred are a reflection of the unintentional nature of the act, distinguishing it from the intentional nature of abortion.
