Dear Bible believer,
What is the Biblical penalty for injuring a woman and causing her unborn child to die ?? I think it is in Leviticus . According to your god it is NOT murder, but according to hypocritical Christians it is. Clearly, the majority of those who claim to be Christians do not believe their own gods' words.
Whose words do you believe ?
Presumably you mean this passage from Exodus.
Exodus 21
22If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine. 23And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life, 24Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, 25Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers
Exodus 21:22
If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.
(22-25) A personal injury peculiar to women—a hurt producing miscarriage—is here considered. The miscarriage might cost the woman her life, in which case the man who caused it was to suffer death (Exodus 21:23); or it might have no further ill result than the loss of the child. In this latter case the penalty was to be a fine, assessed by the husband with the consent of the judge (Exodus 21:22). The death penalty, where the woman died, is clearly excessive, and probably belongs to the pre-Mosaic legislation, which required “life for life” in every case.
(22) If men strive, and hurt a woman with child.—It is assumed that this hurt would probably take place through the interference of a pregnant wife in some strife wherein her husband was engaged. It would almost certainly be accidental.
AND YET NO MISCHIEF FOLLOW —i.e., no further mischief—nothing beyond the loss of the child.

Since the Bible is not coherent and widely open to interpretation, there is no alternative but to pick and choose from the Bible. Not only verses and passages, but interpretations as well. For the vast majority this entails choosing whatever supports their own beliefs and ignoring whatever goes against their own beliefs. For the extremely disingenuous, they claim that they don't pick and choose. The reality is that they not only pick and choose, but delude themselves into believing that that they have "the word of God" on their side. The reality is that all they have on their side is their own interpretation of the Bible.
This is true not only of abortion but slavery, capital punishment, race, women, LGBT, etc. The list goes on and on.
