Abortion is biblically allowed!

"When men strive together and hurt a woman with a child, so that there is a miscarriage and yet no harm follows, the one who hurt her- (speaking of the woman) - shall be fined, according as the woman's husband shall lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine." In Exodus 21: 22-25. The bible states in other places that when a human being is killed the penalty is capital punishment, since killing a fetus does not warrant capital punishment therefore a fetus is not considered a human life.

okay, just to make it clear to some people. If men hurt a women while shes pregnant, and because of it she miscarries, then its not considered murder in the eyes of the lord.

@jmanreel I think it si actually exodus 21:22-24 (or there abouts)

@856893tfr but it does descibe the death (accidental or not) of a foetus.

u are just foolish that does not in anyway back up your statement abortion is wrong and the baby is human since the first day a mother conceives!! you were created the same way so would u like me to say ud not human cause you were a fetus too why would u say a fetus or a 10 week old baby is not human they already have a heart beat tht means its a living person

i am pro-choice, but, criticalthiner, id say this argument is void. the situtation you mentioned doesn't describe abortion

[tecnohunk]

I had a thought--remember in Genesis? It wasnt until Adam breathed in the spirit of God that he was fully alive...does this mean that babies are not fully human UNTIL they take their first breath? Can you elaborate on that please?

Exodus 22:22-23:

22 "Do not take advantage of a widow or an orphan. 23 If you do and they cry out to me, I will certainly hear their cry.

Did you cite the incorrect passage?

I really would be interested in reading the story you mentioned.

if a miscarriage happens, it was meant to happen, but its not our job to play God and decide who lives and who dies. no way to dance around the truth that abortion is murder of a human being.

Great video! I completely agree that the fundamentalist Christians are misinterpreting the bible.
