OK but before I go..
I think 5:11 is the only actual case where it seems as though the bible may even teach how abortion works back then.
but then again the actual context of that story is that the woman is given a drink, and if she cheated the drink will kill the baby, and if she didnt cheat it wont kill the baby.
So it's not exactly an abortion, but instead maybe drinking the concoction just makes the woman sick as fuck, and it's like a 50/50 chance if it will kill the baby... and the priests back then thought that was gods divine decision.
The argument people try to make is that the book is teaching like, "doctor" level medicine to the rabies, about a mixture that can cause the body to kill the baby, but the bible offers no other evidence that it passes on medicinal information this way.
It's pretty common when people apply modern conventions to 6 thousand year old writing. The truth is the rabbis probably had no friggen clue what was going on, just that if you drank that shit, it was like a 50/50 chance the baby would come out, and that was enough for them to say god killed if she cheated, or kept it if she didn't.
If it was on religifact (polifact but for religious shit, which should exist imo) then it would say mostly false.
