Ah, I see what you mean now. My bad, your original post was so long that I just read your preface and the passages you included.

While I can see how this makes the death of an infant seem less severe than the death of an infant or adult, I think it'd be a stretch to say that any of these passages condone abortions, as they're punishments for theocratic crimes. Punishments are generally speaking supposed to be bad things, otherwise they'd be no punishment at all.

Doubtless we both would agree that locking someone in a house is bad; however, we both also believe that jails should exist, and some people deserve to be in fail for even longer than that.
