The Bible is a lot of help, mentioning a fine to be paid to the father.You misrepresent the text.
The passage in question refers to an accidental abortion caused in a scuffle.
The Bible does not even discuss the abomination of intentionally causing an abortion on purpose.
That would fall under the Biblical injunction against killing others in general.

"The Bible does not even discuss the abomination of intentionally causing an abortion on purpose."
Oh sure it does, there are several references to the sacrifice of children on the altar of Moloch, which is what the pagans in the region (and the pagans of this region, too) were/are doing.
