"And he didn't specifically talk about abortion...wonder what he would have thought?"

I'm no Bible scholar but I thought I read in there somewhere that there's a penalty for beating a pregnant woman and causing the baby to die. Can someone more knowledgable help out?

Exodus 21:22&23 covers the case of men fighting and accidentally colliding with a pregnant woman and killing the fetus. They are held responsible and punished, but it is not a capital offense in Judaism.
