With respect to toddlers, infants, and fetuses:

Deuteronomy 20:10-18

10When thou comest nigh unto a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace 
unto it.

 11And it shall be, if it make thee answer of peace, and open unto thee, then 
it shall be, that all the people that is found therein shall be tributaries 
unto thee, and they shall serve thee.

 12And if it will make no peace with thee, but will make war against thee, then 
thou shalt besiege it:

 13And when the LORD thy God hath delivered it into thine hands, thou shalt 
smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword:

 14But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the 
city, even all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take unto thyself; and thou shalt 
eat the spoil of thine enemies, which the LORD thy God hath given thee.

 15Thus shalt thou do unto all the cities which are very far off from thee, 
which are not of the cities of these nations.

 16But of the cities of these people, which the LORD thy God doth give thee for 
an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth:

 17But thou shalt utterly destroy them; namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites, 
the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the LORD 
thy God hath commanded thee:

 18That they teach you not to do after all their abominations, which they have 
done unto their gods; so should ye sin against the LORD your God.

God's rules have gotten way merciful since the old days.

Peace,
Gary
