I'm not especially partial to that link - I brought it up in a casual google search.
However, I see absolutely zero biblically supported refutations on the points made in that link - only attacks on the tone of the work and the one point you made (about women's rights) fails given the nature of the exchange in the point you were refuting and you didn't even refute the points it made.
The passage clearly marked said slave-girl as a slave and gave rules as to the trade and treatment of said girl, there are no lines about protecting women from being traded around like property.
I'm not even going to get into the points in the bible about female unbetrothed virgins who are raped being forced to marry their rapitsts.

If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925
Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan
