Basically, yes. Until the invention of governments, massive numbers of people starved due to bad luck. They had no homes (or territory) that couldn't be taken or destroyed by bandits or raiders from neighboring groups. And they were very, very frequently sick and died of diseases easily prevented by modern medicine (which requires all the infrastructure associated with modern governments). An imperfect government, even a pretty bad one, is infinitely better than none at all.

Last I checked, no theology in the world that believes in original sin thought it was worthy of the death penalty.
You're saying in-born flaws are equal to murder in the eyes of Christians. That's quite a lie.

Christian theology says that prior to original sin, humans did not die--that God gave us the death penalty precisely because of original sin. And thus it would say that a child, born or not, has already been given a death sentence.
