Discusses miscarriage rates. The rate for known pregnancies is between 15 and 20%. Higher than I expected, but the 33% quoted must include miscarriages by women who never new she was pregnant. Besides even if the rate were 90% does that justify purposely taking the life of another human being.

Freedom is not the ability to do whatever we please, freedom is the ability to do good. Taking the life of a child in a womb is not doing good.

A fetus is not a potential human being it is a human being with potential. Legally it is not a person, but that does not mean it is not worth protecting. If a life-saving procedure results in the death of a fetus the death of a fetus, the doctor needs to perform that procedure without hesitation. However the doctor should make a practice of killing children in the womb.

Most of the country is now pro life. I doubt most want and end to all abortions, but certainly want to see the practice curtailed, and late term abortions stopped.
