"If men fight, and hurt a woman with child, so that she gives birth prematurely, yet no harm follows, he shall surely be punished accordingly as the woman's husband imposes on him; and he shall pay as the judges determine. But if any harm follows, then you shall give life for life..." (Ex. 21:22-23)

Here are some of the untold statistics and facts that have to do with legalized abortion. In China, a country where government policy was one child to a family, people were opting for boys both to carry on the family name and so someone could help do the harder chores, especially on the farms. Families used abortion to be sure their one child would be a son. And now, the inevitable result. Many of those boys will be bachelors because just in the age group of 0-19, there are 14,000,000 more boys than girls. Of every 100 unmarried adult Chinese, 93 are men. The trend shows no signs of reversing. (From Associated Press)

The Greek word "brephos" is used in Luke 1:41 to refer to the unborn child, and is the same word translated "babies" in Luke 18:15 where it states, "they were bringing even the babies to him." Thus, unborn children and babies were considered the same in the New Testament.
