Exodus 21: 23 shows us, though, that God considered the unborn child a living person. Harm to the child had to be addressed. Since we know God does not change, we know God still considers an unborn child a person. God told Jeremiah, "before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations". (Jer. 1:5)
Everyone who takes the life of a person is accountable to God. "Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for God made man in his own image." (Gen. 9:6)
Life is precious to God. It must, therefore, be precious to us.
