There\u2019s a case where two people are fighting, and one person knocks over a pregnant person and causes a miscarriage. It says very clearly, if it\u2019s only a miscarriage, then the person who caused the harm is obligated to pay monetary fines as damages, and if a pregnant person dies, then it is treated as manslaughter. So we see right away that in the book of Exodus it\u2019s very clear that the fetus and pregnant person have different statuses, and causing a miscarriage is not treated as manslaughter. The fetus does not have the same status as a born human. It\u2019s treated as potential life, rather than actual life.”
