Does the Torah Speak to the Value of the Unborn? (Interview w/ Dr. Carmen Imes)

What does the Torah say about the value of the unborn? There is an interesting law in Exodus 21:22-25 that speaks to this question. Here to discuss this with me is Dr. Carmen Imes, an Old Testament scholar, author, and Associate Professor at Biola University’s Talbot School of Theology. She’s currently working on a commentary on Exodus and brings valuable insights into this important passage. We also explore how this passage informs contemporary debates about abortion.
