the Church has allowed baptisms of persons convicted of manslaughter and murder.
I don't imagine every member who may have killed somebody in a motor vehicle accident, even if gross negligence were deemed to have occurred, is excommunicated.
The days of cut and dried rules no longer exist.
The Church obviously does not view abortion as tantamount to murder, because although membership is threatened by participating, it's not automatic, and it's on a case by case basis.
