The Biblical god certainly wasn't. Search the Bible in vein for the words "life begins at conception" and post-birth children have absolutely no rights as the property of their father.
@ Fading W the child is an adult, the families name was so important then, if a grown child was ruining the family name by being rebellious then stoning was his/her fate if the parents persued that action.
@DP Exodus 21:22-25 give the penalties for one who causes a unborn baby to suffer or die. You sure did not search very hard.
Lev.17:11-14 these verses are penalty for eating blood and they explain why it's not to be eaten, "the life of the flesh is in the blood". So an unborn child has it's own blood (and the type may be different from the mothers) only a few weeks after conception so according to scripture this is when life begins. Remember now that God does give a penalty for harm to an unborn child in Exodus.

Yes! Can't let facts get in the way of our preconceived notion!
Ha ha ha very funny you know that I meant that once a goal is established then one uses only facts to prove the point or reach the goal.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
