Rabbi Chaim Ozer Grodzinski, of blessed memory, demonstrates that the remarks of Tosafot, taken in context, clearly indicate a biblical proscription against feticide rather than a rabbinic edict. Feticide, as Tosafot notes, is expressly forbidden under the statutes of the Noachide Code. The Noachide prohibition is derived by R. Ishmael (Sanhedrin 57b) from the wording of Genesis 9:6. Rendering this verse as "Whoso sheddeth the blood of man, within man shall his blood be shed" rather than "Whoso sheddeth the blood of man, by man [i.e., through a human court] shall his blood be shed." R. Ishmael queries, "Who is a man within a man? … A fetus within the womb of the mother." Tosafot deduces that this practice is prohibited to Jews as well by virtue of the talmudic principle, "Is there anything which is forbidden to a Noachide yet permitted to a Jew?" Application of this principle clearly establishes a biblical prohibition. sefaria.org/Contemporary_H…

Rabbi Elijah Mizrachi zt"I Talmudist and posek, an authority on Halakha, and a mathematician. In his commentary on Exodus 21:12, Rabbi Mizrachi states that in principle feticide and murder are indistinguishable. The biblical ban on murder extends equally to all human life, including, he claims, any fetal life which, unmolested, would develop into a viable human being. In theory, continues Mizrachi, feticide should be punishable by death since the majority of all fetuses will indeed develop into viable human beings. sefaria.org/Contemporary_H…

"At the beginning of a human being's existence, the Creator appointed the mother's body to serve as a crib for the fetus so that it might abide in a safe place, a strongly guarded fortress, as it were, where no hand can touch it, where it cannot be affected by heat or cold, but is shielded and sheltered and where its food is ready for it. Here it continues to grow and develop, even becomes capable of moving and turning, and receives its nourishment without any effort or exertion. This nourishment is provided for it in a place where no one else can in any way reach it, and is increased as the fetus develops until a definite period." Rabbi Bahya ibn Paquda zt"l Author of the first Jewish system of ethics, Chovot HaLevavot, the Duties of the Heart, and judge at the rabbinical court of Spain.

Rabbi Moses ben Maimon zt”l, Author of Mishneh Torah, a codification of Halacha, astronomer, and physician. "The definition of murder according to the Noahide Laws includes a person who kills "even one unborn in the womb of its mother," and adds that such a person is liable for the death penalty.” jewishprolifefoundation.org/pro-life-rabbis
