Quote:Like someone else already answered, I have. I've also participated in annual memorials for children list to miscarriage. You'd be hard pressed to get a single person to call them a fetus.


All life is precious and sacred, whether born or not. Not difficult to answer at all.


Suppose your spouse or significant other was pregnant, and during her pregnancy she was assaulted and the end result was losing the baby. I suppose you wouldn't care because in your world personhood hadn't been established, so nothing but a clump of cells was lost, right?

Sorry, but I don't recall mourning a potential son or daughter. There was no potential there. Especially after seeing the sonograms. The mourning was real, and the loss was devastating enough to where my wife gave up on having another child. We consider our daughter, the only child we were able to carry to birth a miracle.

So because all life is precious, you also advocate for universal health care, correct?


Your experience with miscarriage is your experience.


The loss of a potential baby being born and going through life is a difficult one.


How a family grieves over that potential is personal.


Still doesn't change the facts that it's a potential life in the eyes of our society, many metaphysical books, and our laws.


Also, you are the master of the bait and switch argument. I have spent many pages of this thread explaining that the loss of the potential life is devastating. But please, demonize me as a callous guy that just sees the fetus as a clump of tissue. I never said that, but you love to create your straw men to attack and make the target of vitriol.


How bout just trying to have a discussion without taking it so personally?
