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 would have to be something that would suggest the possibility. Like the mother was making threats of such as an example. I believe that in most cases unless something was glaring as the threat example above it's best to just let it be. I've known several women in my life over the years who have had multiple miscarriages and they were just devastated (as well as in some cases the father).
It seems to me that it's not uncommon for some women to have them (multiple times), and not sure if it's something to do with their unique reproductive system, or perhaps a combination of not matching well biologically with the fathers attributes, perhaps a mix of both.
It occurs to me of course that because of my not wishing to go on witch hunts against grieving parents that obviously this would allow some more devious intelligent mothers to have abortions and call them miscarriages. A price I think any just society has to endure unless as I said there is some pretty compelling evidence of wrongdoing.
I'm not a fan of preemptive rules seeking to stop a handful of criminals at the expense of the majority who would be affected by such rules who never would have been a danger in regards to what the rules claim to try circumventing. That's a slippery slope to having no freedoms, just permissions.
while i agree with your moral impulse here,
it is difficult to say "abortion is murder" and then say "we won't investigate miscarriages"
shockingly,
Nov 12, 2021 — Brittney Poolaw was convicted of 1st degree manslaughter for suffering a miscarriage. Bringing the U.S. one step closer to Gilead.

it seems like pregnant women would be wise to avoid visiting a hospital
I believe we are conflating two separate issues here. I've been very vocal in my years of blogging on the many criminal ways those who farm us like they own us use their penal slave system and army of men with guns to punish folks for things that quite simply are none of their business and often has no victim.
I used to write a lot for example on the mandatory reporters who would get children kidnapped from their parents (often single moms) where more often than not the child would end up being forcibly drugged and have an exponentially greater chance of being sexually molested and trafficked etc.
I don't believe it hard to separate at all
But it would involve putting an end to the MANY ways the courts and men with guns act in ways that are crimes against humanity against the general population.
I think for many reasons it is wise for all of us to avoid visiting hospitals. That is usually where the mandatory reporters are, that is where many are treated in ways that makes problems worse or actually kills one. I cringe inside to even think of all the crimes taking place within the places called hospitals here in the U.S.
I've said for many years now to my partner that if i get sick bad I want to just die at home in peace. Even if it somehow shortens my time here.
i agree
i also agree
it's a very sad state of affairs, but i also agree
unfortunately it looks like miscarriages will be investigated as potential murder cases if abortion is outlawed
from my perspective this is the same "right to self-ownership" and "right to medical privacy" as the fight over MANDATORY vaccines
(IFF) "life (and the rights of citizenship) begins at conception" (THEN) miscarriage = manslaughter (AND) in-vitro fertilization = murder
AND,
personal privacy and medical privacy goes out the window completely
(IFF) "life (and the rights of citizenship) begins at conception" (THEN) every single CONCEPTION must be REGISTERED WITH THE STATE which would basically make it mandatory for all women to immediately report a positive pregnancy test in order to receive a "(pre)birth certificate"
it's probably easier to drink a full bottle of whisky
