    LeBuick says he's not posting anymore on abortion - too bad as I'd like to interact on this passage.

    Verse 22 refers to an action (a fight) that accidentally causes a miscarriage or possibly even an early labor and birth. Accidentally causing either of these is not the same thing as an abortion.

    An abortion is deliberate and I doubt there were abortions among the Jews at that time. Possibly among the pagans using certain herbs; nevertheless, what is referred to above is the result of an accident. God also sees manslaughter different from murder, so this is consistent.
