The woman in the article that miscarried? That could be a health problem. I didn’t form enough/barely measurable amniotic fluid with my first pregnancy. Not going to indict this woman without more medical history.
In the other instance posted about a friend, the very obese woman probably didn’t have regular menstrual cycles; so missing 8 months or so would not be out of the ordinary and not clue one into the possibility of a pregnancy.
But, I would say that I started actually feeling both of my children around 4-5 months. So even if there is no menstrual evidence, there is other things happening.
This woman claimed that she kept on HAVING the cycles. All of the cases of women with missed periods are NOT APPLICABLE here.
I am not saying it is impossible, I am saying that there is probable cause for investigation.
My wife told me this morning about a woman she knows, a midwife no less, who felt she was going to miscarry rather late. She went to the hospital, they confirmed. They gave her the option of staying at the hospital or going home. She opted for home. She miscarried. She was questioned by authorities about it, and was cleared. You check it out. Otherwise, every woman who drops her 40 week baby in the trash could say she miscarried.
What I was orignially getting at was that the aricle didn’t seem able to get a more clearcut case for a poster child. The people trumpeting this case don’t want to make it easier on mothers with genuine miscarriages. They want legalized abortion, which should have no bearing on this women’s case. In Latin America, there is no shortage of doctors willing to make EVERY abortion a “life of the mother” case, which is why even leftist Nicaragua (under great public pressure) made a no exceptions law.
