Exodus 21:22-27 22 "If some men are fighting and hurt a pregnat woman so that she loses her child, but she is not injured in any other way, the wone who hurt her is to be fined whatever amount the woman's husband demads, subject to the approval of the judges. 23 But if the woman herself is injured, the punishment shall be life for life, 24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, 25 burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise. 26 "If a man hits his male or female slave in the eye and puts it out, he is to free the slave as payment for the eye. 27 If he knocks out a tooth, he is to free the slave as payment for the tooth. It would appear that the law gives much more attention to the woman than to her unborn child. Even if the child is killed, the man is only fined. Tom Blake SUNY-Binghamton
