Sovereignty doesn't justify murder. She (in MOST cases) decided to engage in activities and has thus assumed the burden.
does it matter to you if coercion was involved ?
do you suppose the law should account for that ?
or is it immaterial to your case ?
If she wasn't a willing participant then I believe that it would be just for the baby to be given to another (and there are plenty of folks who want a child) to care for if she doesn't want it.
are you in favor of investigating miscarriages as probable manslaughter slash murder cases ?
I've never been a fan of the concept of manslaughter really. Couple that with how common miscarriages are and seems unless it was super obvious that it was purposeful then no, it would be a waste of time and money. Plus, it would be cruel to subject the parents to such a fishing expedition during this time they are probably grieving their loss. Many parents who endure this loss are crushed, especially when it happens multiple times.
i agree 100%
but how do you expect to detect "purposeful" miscarriages ?
you know, what you might consider "murders" ?
it's probably easier to drink a full bottle of whisky
