Except for all the abandoned babies whose families couldn’t or wouldn’t feed them...some exposed, some put into little revolving receptacles at orphanages. Some few even lived. Witness the Italian surnames Esposito, Abbandonato.
As I said: the length and breadth of Christendom was pro-life. The Medieval institutional response to unwanted pregnancy was a revolving receptacle at an orphanage, not an abattoir.
