The pro life party . My ass.

β€˜an eye for an eye’ expresses the principle of reciprocal justice and the earliest known use of the principle appears in the Code of Hammurabi (1750 BC )

This means that the victim receives the estimated value of the injury as compensation. The intention behind the principle was to limit the compensation to the value of the loss.

Oh and btw the Capitol has a portrait in relief of Hammurabi.
