ABORTION- Post opinions here!

Blacks were practicing slavery when white man got there. White man just happened to be far more efficient at it than jungle bunnies.
 
This may have been discussed here previously, but I wanted to get your perspective on this. Now, I haven't come to own conclusions about this, but I think it is worthy of debate. From Exodus 21:22-25

22 "If men who are fighting hit a pregnant woman and she gives birth prematurely [a] but there is no serious injury the offender must be fined whatever the woman's husband demands and the court allows. 23 But if there is serious injury, you are to take life for life, 24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, 25 burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise.


Footnotes
[a] Exodus 21:22 Or she has a miscarriage

So, this would then refer to the value that was placed on the unborn in Old Testament theology. It appears that The Old Testament declares the unborn child is not then considered as an equal, or am I reading this wrong? Thoughts?
