And abortion doesn't kill children. If so many people are legitimately concerned about fetuses and it's not just about controlling women...why is the focus only on women's bodies and never men?

Well, I think that the law prevents guys from having abortions, too. Sorry, pithy statement because I’m trying to not start a fight. But men have been told repeatedly that they have no rights if they impregnate a woman. If they have no rights, how would they be focused upon?

Even back when I was pro-life, I thought it was a moral imperative that if the law stopped women from aborting pregnancies, it also needed to force men to take responsibility for them. Nature handed us an imbalance, but we can use law and culture to try and counteract it.

That’s a really odd thing, for killing kids (even the potential kid if you won’t give that) to be a balance for guys not taking responsibility.

“It's an oft-cited statistic that about 1 out of 5 pregnancies end in miscarriage, typically early in the first trimester. But the true number may be as high as 50 percent.” The cells that have potential to become a baby but are not a baby and it is not a guarantee.

I have a friend who had 4 miscarriages. When she’s in a group of 8 other women, each of which had 2 kids, in that group, statistically, one in five pregnancies end in miscarriage. That’s not a really viable statistic, IMO, because it’s a straight mis:pregnancy average.

And, if left alone, a person doesn’t know if the kid will be a miscarriage or will carry to term until one or the other happens. If we accept Schroedinger philosophically, the kid is both in the womb, then it’s given that the kid is alive.

“It might be a miscarriage” isn’t great rationalization either for the times it isn’t.
