I appreciate your perspective on The Book of the Covenant. I never considered that "Exodus 21: 22-25 would have been read various times as a prohibition against abortion." I do see however the harm that could cause for so many especially those seeking abortions. The idea as Collins states on Page 85 that "if the master gives the slave a wife, she and her children remain the master's property" really makes me think about the idea of a woman's right to choose and the fact that the way Collins is stating this correlates to that idea that men are superior and therefore own property. 


Peace,
