What is it you don't like about that question? We investigate the death of any child if there's any possibility that it may have been the result of negligence or abuse. Drugs like RU486 chemically induce abortion that appears to be a miscarriage.
Are you going to argue that a woman taking such a drug would constitute murder, but it would be wrong to investigate whether that's what happened?
The sentiment, that life is about screwing but never about babies, is quite common. I thought that was your point, rather than a misphrasing of the basic statement about life.
My mistake, you get three chuckles and a Guinness, if you’re in the mood to imbibe.

I keep trying to convince my hairdressers of that and they insist on taking off three more inches than I ask.
No. Every embryo is a unique human being dependent on his or her mother for life. The rest is up to God, no matter the age of the mother. That doesn't matter, no matter what the secular world wants us to think.
Any kid who's ever bought a pack of rubbers knows when life begins. So does any girl who's ever worried about being five days late.
Of all phony issues, this one is the phoniest.
Brilliantly succinct. Kudos
Precisely.
Put any adult in the wild and they’re not likely to live on their own. Even “being able to live on its own” is a vague standard.
It might be comforting to think that it's just that simple, it's all good, and there can't be any unintended consequences, but I don't think it is.
That’s stupid thinking. A miscarriage is not deliberate murder or manslaughter or even accidental in the way manslaughter is sometimes defined.
There’s no intent to kill on the woman’s part when her body is reacting that way beyond her control.
The truth: Every embryo is a human being with potential.
Guinness should be the official beer of science. The “students” statistical t-test to determine if a difference between two groups is statistically significant was invented by a “student” at the Guinness Brewery who was asked to determine how to find an “odd” batch of Guinness in order to eliminate it.
Good brewing and good science! ;)
My hairdressers have the opposite problem: they don’t believe me when I say “Short, shorter, shortest!”
Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy. (That said, I prefer wine.)
“what amounts to recognition of citizenship at conception”
The U.S. Constitution says you are a citizen when you are born.
(from Article II)No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President
(from Amendment 14)All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.
There’s no intent to kill on the woman’s part when her body is reacting that way beyond her control..
I said "apparent miscarraige". "Crib death" is not murder or manslaughter, and doesn't involve any intent to kill on part of the parents, either. But that death will still be investigated to be sure that's what happened.
Doctors are required to report evidence of child abuse to the police. If a doctor examines a woman and finds what appears to be evidence of a recent surgical abortion, what should he do?
If she has a miscarraige, and blood tests might show evidence of abortificant drugs, can he be required to run those tests and report the results to the police?
