Abortion within the first forty days of the

pregnancy and also before the fetus has

completed three months of the pregnancy

is a much less severe issue than later in the

pregnancy. Therefore, it is possible to permit an

abortion within this time period, as long as there

are as of yet no fetal movements, if there is an

established risk that the child will be deformed

and suffer great pain- Tzitz Eliezer 9:51

“Abortion in Jewish law is perceived as homicide”

In that case I am sure someone who accidentally causes a woman to have a miscarriage is sent to an ir miklat? No.
