Exo 21:22,23
If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine. And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,
Q - Does this verse mean God does not value the life of an unborn child?
A - No, there many instances in scripture where God has consecrated certain individuals before they were born for a specific purpose that they would fulfill after their birth. Samson is a good example of this. (Jdg 13:5) for behold, you shall conceive and bear a son. No razor shall come upon his head, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb, and he shall begin to save Israel from the hand of the Philistines."
