Re: The actual counterpart is spontaneous miscarriages.
[quote name="Xytofor Zitowich"][quote name="Last"]Around 1/4 of all pregnancies end with spontaneous abortions, many of which are so early that the woman may not ever notice. The right doesn't consider these to be murder (or manslaughter), though, because their goal isn't to punish the death of the unborn caused by the mother, it's to punish women for fornication.[/quote] I'm glad you remembered that. Before the term 'miscarriage' was invented, the term used for this happening was 'spontaneous abortion.' Now if you said, "I heard she had a spontaneous abortion," someone would probably say, "Oh I'm sure it wasn't spontaneous, I'll bet she considered it beforehand!"[/quote]
