GEN715 Feticide … is expressly forbidden under the statues of the Noachide Code. The Noachide prohibition is derived by R. Ishmael Sanhedrin 57b from the wording of [this verse]. 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 them other.” 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.
