Finally, finally, someone is serious about protecting the unborn. Why aren't miscarriages treated like any other death? If a million babies or young children died every year from some disease, food allergies or other cause, wouldn't there be a collective outcry?

I've said it here for years, until we REALLY AND TRULY start treating the unborn like any other citizen, we will never end legal abortion. Our failure to acknowledge that simple fact broadcasts to everyone that we really don't believe that abortion is murder. Miscarriage should be treated exactly like finding a body of a child - possible murder. We need to support bold and principled politicians like Rep. Bobby Franklin.

If you’re telling the truth about your views, you’re foolish.

Abortion law in America has never prosecuted women, and never should.

“Such term does not include a naturally occurring expulsion of a fetus known medically as a ‘spontaneous abortion’ and popularly as a ‘miscarriage’ so long as there is no human involvement whatsoever in the causation of such event”

Just what constitutes human involvement whatsoever? If a doctor prescribes a medication for a condition separate from the pregnancy knowing there is a risk but believes an illness is serious enough to warrant its use and the woman miscarries does that meet the defintion? What if a woman is a horse rider and decides to go for a gallop and falls off and miscarries? What then? How do you deal with someone who because she does not have adequate pre natal care miscarries? Or a woman who does not cooperate in treating conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure?

That section is just way too broard and the invasion of privacy and potential for abuse is way too high. Do people want to see a whole new agency formed to investigate miscarriage? I don’t.

As I read the first sentence, it completely contradicts the title. But that is probably just me.
