re: #684 cliffster
The number is way higher than that, Sal, especially for first-time pregnancies. I don’t think that’s really material here since the number drops incredibly low after the point where any sane person would say there is a person with rights. But, there are an extremely high number of first-time-pregnancy miscarriages.
A pregnancy is a huge allocation of resources. It makes sense for the body to be choosy about what it selects to invest in.
Still, to my sentimental mind, a sad kind of thought.
