[Cicero]

I think you misunderstood me. Sometimes women have miscarriages, and nothing can be done about it. It just happens, and it's too late to do anything.

Naturally if a miscarriage can be prevented, it should be.

"Naturally if a miscarriage can be prevented, it should be."

The reason many women in the USA will never support any attempt at overturning Roe v Wade.

Scientists and politicians have created a horrible Catch 22 situation.
On the one side, of the extremist pro-life position, it seems logical to assume that at some point, a fertile adult female might be punished/prosecuted for having a normal menstrual cycle and "murdering" a perfectly viable egg.

OTOH, of the extremist pro-abortion position, a fertile adult female might actually be punished/prosecuted for birthing a "less than perfectly healthy" infant, and/or conversely have her ovaries forcibly removed by government orders, if DNA suggests her "eggs" would be helpfull in scientific research...

The "slippery slope" is what all of us are currently enjoying.

Neither extremes are willing to remember that females are actually full human beings,entirely deserving of all the rights, respect, duties, and responsibilities of any male human being.

But having personally endured five miscarriages, all medically termed as "spontaneous abortions", I am personally adamently against "elective" abortion. I am also "against" the harvesting of female ovarian eggs, in-vitriol fertilisation,
