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.
it’s the no missed periods combined with it that I question.
I took that to mean that you couldn't understand how a woman could get pregnant, miss periods, and it not be a clue to the pregnancy or some other underlying condition. And I had responded that for obese women, regular periods may not occur, and could not be used as a pregnancy indicator.
I have no doubt that this is a push for legalized abortion, just like when I have my female peers tell me how awful it was for their grandmothers, in horribly abusive situations, having to bear dozens of kids was an excuse for abortion. But, I was simply responding to the point about missed menstrual cycles, it is an effect of obesity. And there are medical rarities where women can have underlying conditions which result in "periods" etc that may not clue them into pregnancy. ie: placenta previa might cause spotting. I would be more suspect of not feeling the baby kick, etc.
