Both sides should get behind a "save the unborn" movement, if we all decided to end miscarriage, like we eradicated smallpox or polio. An estimated 1/4 to 1/3 of the preborns are aborted spontaneously..that's 1-2 million preborn babies a year! We wouldn't stand idly by if a million children a year died of a new strand of smallpox.

Part of the indifference to the abortion issue stems from our disregard of human life before birth in general.

It's true miscarriage is heartbreaking, and many people are callous about it.

There are treatments for many causes of miscarriage. Some problems are fairly simple to treat, others very difficult.

About half of miscarriages are caused by a genetic defect in the unborn child - most of them miscarried before you could test, damage done before you could test, tests invasive and carrying risk.

How would you correct a trisomy in every cell, for instance? If you could do that kind of genetic manipulation what re-design of human beings would the brave new world contemplate?

Should everyone be conceived in vitro, controlled? There are worse evils than miscarriage.

Is there a difference between a man that drops dead of a heart attack and one who is killed deliberately by another?

As someone who miscarried my first pregnancy, I can promise you that I was not indifferent. I examined every action and to look for something I could have done differntly.

The solace was/is that virtually every early pregnancy loss is due to genetic deformities rightly called "incompatible with life."

Which is worlds away from intentionally ending a life before birth because of money or relationship problems. And one reason - beides some pretty impressive poor-ness in my own history - that I fight abortion and try to make a difference with tangible help, crochet for the crisis pregnancy center, teaching abstinence in the schools, etc.

I have run into this absurd moral relative position many times -always from an abortion advocate attempting to turn reality on its head and by false premise insinuate apparent hypocrisy within the pro-life position...

It is real simple --abortion is intentional murder, miscarriage is not intentional murder - no, not even "spontaneous" abortion is intentional murder...
