This is probably going to get people mad at me...?

I take it you mean a miscarriage that is somehow directly attributable to the actions of the mother. For example against her doctor's strong advice not to go skydiving, she went anyway? (I realize that is perhaps a bad example, but you get the idea.) Not a spontaneous miscarriage from a very conscientious mother.

Interesting.

If nothing else, I think it would be hard to conclusively prove in court that the actions of the mother positively lead to the miscarriage. Even in the case of, say, a drug user.

If they are going to make abortion against the law, they should probably change the name for a miscarriage. They call it a "spontaneous abortion". That is something the woman really can't control. She shouldn't be charged with anything. Falling while you are pregnant is no where near the same as leaving your baby in a trash can after it is born full term.

Miscarriages generally happen through no fault on the part of the mother and , in fact, are usually a heartbreaking experience for the mom. Your point is without validity.

You would think.

I think abortion is up to each and every individual woman. Men should have no say about abortion because it is not their bodies that they are putting through the procedure. I agree that the thing inside her is rightfully half his, but he is not sharing half of the abortion pains either.

Also, there are right and there are wrong reasons to get an abortion. An example of what I believe to be a right reason is if you are raped. You should not be forced to carry that child. An example of what I believe to be a wrong reason is if you mistakenly got pregnant and do not want the responsibility. There is always adoption.

Wow, you're question is absolutely absurd. Did you think before you asked? What you are implying is that a miscarriage is somehow the mother's fault. When 99.99 percent of the time it's not at all. Miscarriages happen when the embryo isn't compatible with life. So doesn't that mean the father of the child should be 50% liable?

Congratulations, you're an idiot.

No

Involuntary manslaughter is the unlawful killing of a human being without malice aforethought.

Equally, if you regard an unborn foetus as a human with the same rights, would you support a newly pregnant mother's right to receive child benefit as soon as she concieves?

If she miscarries should there be an autopsy and full medical examination, as there would be had an "outside the womb" person died?

Exactly!

The people out there screaming that abortion is murder should read this.

I never thought to bring up miscarriages in an pro-choice argument.

Thank you!

of course not they could not do anything to keep the baby alive
