What's your personal issue with abortion?

As to the Bible, what you do with it is your responsibility. But don't lie about it. It is clear in its teaching: life begins at conception.

I've read your nonsensical article before. You're the liar, you Bible-rejecting heretic. You reject the Hebrew Masoretic reading to prove a point that isn't even there. It was a miscarriage in the passage -- her fruit has departed --, and you know it. The judges determine the compensation for the miscarriage -- and notice it's compensation, not DEATH that's called for (as it would be if it were murder). The judgment following that has to do with whether or not the woman is harmed. Read it. Exodus 21: 22-25:

If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine. And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life, Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.

It's as clear as the nose on your face. To everyone except a Greek or Hebrew "scholar," (who of course doesn't hesitate to change the reading to suit his or her own doctrine). Which I assume you claim to be.

(If that last part is about a baby, when was the last time you saw a baby born with TEETH, except perhaps Jethro Bodine on the Beverly Hillbillies?)

Watch who you call liar, liar.
