If a soldier INTENTIONALLY kills a civilian guess what he is prosecuted. If the government INTENTIONALLY killed an innocent person the individuals responsible would be prosecuted for it. I have never heard of an unintentional abortion in an abortion clinic.

When war is waged it's a known fact that civilians will die. But deciding to go to war they are accepting that reality and their deaths are the result of the intent to go to war.
When the death penalty is employed it is a known fact that some may be unjustly executed. By adopting a death penalty such is accepted and their deaths are the result of the full intent to institute a death penalty.
But I'm not talking legality. I'm talking primarily on a moral level.
