I'm not being disingenuous... you repeated the same thing I said about it.

You said:

Exodus 21:22 means that if the fetus dies, there should be only monetary liability; but if the woman dies, it is capital murder.

from which I inferred that you thought there was a stronger penalty for killing the mother than the baby, and so killing the baby was not as bad as killing the mother. I think Jewish law views such killing equally.
