Friendly reminder that the Bible doesn't consider fetuses as on our level
The verses prolifers point out is, if your belief is true, means we were alive before we were ever conceived. But the human soul is not eternal; that is God only.
"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, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe." Exodus 21:22-25
Bolded comes from the Hebrew word וְיָצְא֣וּ, which means to go, out, or bring. Let's be real, what punch would bring earlier birth? It really only makes sense for this to be a miscarriage, and it says no harm follows. I'm not twisting His word; I'm listening to it.
