This is a much different example. Again, I said intention cannot be the only requirement to judge and neither can consequences.

It does not follow that what you are saying is true. Throwing a brick off a building is a different scenario than abortion. Thought experiments like this do not work. I pretty sure people can see the difference between throwing a brick off a building and unintentionally killing a fetus. But even unintentionally killing a fetus my be manslaughter in certain situations. My point is that situations are what must be judges not general cases.
No. A woman should never be charged with manslaughter for unintentionaly killing something inside her.

Even if she new the risks, and took them anyway.
