Transcript
The book of Exodus records many of the laws God gave his people Israel. In Exodus 21, we read about the consequences if two men are fighting, and one accidently strikes a pregnant woman.
If the baby is born as a result, but isn’t harmed, the man pays a fine. However: if either the baby or the mother suffers harm, the man pays life for life, eye for eye, wound for wound. In other words—if the baby or mother died, the man was executed. The Mosaic Law gave unborn life the same value as life that has been born!
Why? Because level of development or location doesn’t determine personhood. Being made in God’s image does!
