I know the difference between a miscarriage and an abortion.
No need to point it out.
Would you like to address the idea in my post, which is that while people decry the loss of a an aborted foetus by choice, the loss of a spontaneously aborted foetus prompts hardly a mention.
I mean, when I had a miscarriage, there wasn't even a time of death called. No funeral, no death certificate, in fact the nurse had me go to the bathroom to get it out. Didn't really seem phased by the whole thing.
So while some can say foetus = baby, if it had been a born baby that I'd lost, it would have been treated entirely differently than the loss of a foetus, however that loss of pregnancy might come about.
That foetus might have been a life, but no one but me and my husband gave a crap.
And quite rightly so. Foetuses are not babies, imho, until they're viable. And no one treats them like such except happily expectant families and pro lifers.
Every human is developing every second of their life from CONCEPTION. An adolescent human develops into an adult human. A middle age human develops into an elderly human.
Abortions kill humans.
When someone dies, there is one less human in the world.
Likewise--
Every time there is an abortion, there is one less human in the world.
Because abortions kill humans.
Abortions kill humans in about the same sense that disconnecting brain-dead patients from life support kills humans, at least during the earlier months of the pregnancy. In that state there's neither awareness nor a self-sustaining condition. Of course, the difference is that the embryo or fetus may eventually achieve awareness and independence, but by that standard it's also wrong to use birth control that prevents implantation, to produce fertilized eggs for IVF and not use them, arguably even to allow a egg to pass without giving it a chance at development.
I'm actually not sure whether embryos and/or fetuses, especially in the early months of pregnancy, actually fully meet the scientific criteria for life.
For those claiming " well BC fails"...there is nothing preventing you from using 2 or even 3 methods...
Ie, pill plus foam and condom. Or pill plus foam and Timing when not fertile. Or ius, condom and foam.

They'll just claims 2-3 methods can fail at the same time.
For the woke, abortion is considered birth control. Despite the fact it's more expensive and traumatic than real birth control.
Then isn't it a matter of fact you want women convicted of abortion to be put to death, or just life in prison?
Quote me where I have ever posted anything remotely like that. Because what you posted is a blatant LIE about my posts. Absolute lie. Why are you lying?
The questions asked in your posts are idiotic, which is why you rarely get responses.
They pose a scenario that YOU WANT -- generally about how YOU WANT all women to be punished and all killed -- and then YOU BEG posters to agree with you since it's a leading question.
They do absolutely nothing to further any discussion.
Stop LYING about what you claim are MY positions. Thanks.
So does miscarriages. Lots and lots of those, but not much handwringing over those dead humans by the crowd. Where are the rallies and outrage about how tragic that is, all those dead in the first trimester? They don’t even end up in a box, or cremated, with some form of ceremony, just usually end up in the toilet.
It’s hard on the prospective parents, for sure. But society couldn’t give a crap. I mean, what are we doing about that? Between 10 to 20% of all pregnancies in the US end in spontaneous abortion.
If we’re going to treat 6 week foetuses like babies, then let’s go the whole hog.
Let’s afford them all funerals and give parents grief leave. Let’s all send cards on the anniversary of that baby’s demise. Let’s do investigations into every miscarriage like we would if it was a live breathing baby.
Make sure Mom didn’t do anything to cause it, right? I mean if foetuses equal born breathing babies, then we’ve been going about this all wrong.
Miscarriages are organic. Convenience abortion (98.3% of all abortions) is intentional killing just for the sake of one's own convenience.
Highly doubtful. The eggs sold for consumption in grocery stores, farmers' markets, etc. aren't fertilized.
