The woman dragged before the temple priesters was lucky to get by with 'only' a bitter herb abortion. Kind of a screaming liberal policy there considering the vengeful and cruel deity they worshipped. She might have expected to be cut up and the fetus dashed against stones before her dying eyes. Afterall, just raising suspicions is practically as bad as being actually guilty.
If modern era believers have a problem with this morality tale it would be with the bleeding heart liberal basis of the law there. Apparently even in the early bronze age the church was beset with fucking backsliding slackers.
