Why? If she was going to have an abortion, she would have had the abortion, no?

Well, the injunction was issued and then reversed. I think we all know that there are things a woman can do to "force" a miscarriage. Who's to say she hadn't done something to force a miscarriage during the injunction, not knowing that it would be lifted, and once it was, it was too late?

Yep. They were done all the time before safe abortion was legal--coat hanger, etc. But I still think this is a bit of conjecture on your part.

I doubt if this litigation is over with--in fact, I expect a sea of litigation to come out of this. At some point, I expect her hospital records to be subpoenaed and probably made public. If it's shown that this was a miscarriage that occured because of medical reasons--for example, a malformed fetus, the placenta detaching from the uterus--you deserve to apologize to this woman. If she did something to harm her child, then I will apologize. But right now, accusing her of doing *something* to force the miscarriage is pure speculation, and quite malevolent to boot.

"I think we all know that there are things a woman can do to 'force' a miscarriage."

Which is exactly why abortion should be legal...
