Considering Personhood was easily voted down in Mississippi, it has no hope anywhere else.
So, as I asked then:
1) Should every miscarriage be investigated as a possible murder?
2) Should there be some sort of monitoring and testing system imposed to detect the millions of fertilized eggs that fail to implant, again as part of potential murder investigations? Do we include all of those in child mortality statistics?

A miscarriage, by its very definition, is involuntary. So, obviously, no.
A failure to implant also involves no action on the parents’ part, unless you are speaking of “birth control” that actually prevents implantation (the pill, morning after, IUD), which can easily be made illegal.
Is every death investigated as a possible murder?
2) Should there be some sort of monitoring and testing system imposed...
Of course not. But this brings us a good point in terms of abortifacient birth control methods. If everyone who is ostensibly pro-life would stop inadvertently aborting their children via birth-control, we could win a lot more elections.
