Anti-Abortion Hypothetical Question

[Evil_Maniac From Mars]

- Mother smokes during pregnancy. Smoking increases the chance of miscarriage(I think by a lot, but I'm not sure on that). She has a miscarriage. Murder?

Yes. No mother should smoke during pregnancy. Are there no laws against that?

- Mother has unprotected sex, and gets chlamydia. Chlamydia causes miscarriage. Murder?

No. Nobody intentionally contracts chlamydia. Unprotected sex was necessary to produce the child.

- Mother is a cocaine addict. Cocaine greatly increases the chance of a miscarriage. Murder?

Yes. Nobody should be doing drugs, smoking, or drinking during pregnancy. It is remarkably irresponsible and careless.

im pro-life, except when it coems to rape and when the mothers life will be in danger.
to me, people are only really humans when they begin to look like one..... usually a few months after pregnancy.
i have no problem with any morning-after pills.

In the sort of society that the pro-life movement would like to create, many women would be unwillingly carrying pregnancies to term against their will, to follow the law. So I think it's a perfectly valid legal query as to whether or not the mother not particularly CARING about being "remarkably irresponsible and careless" would fall into the domain of murder or manslaughter.

It is murder through neglect.

I'm very grateful that those ideas aren't running my country. That's actually the kind of society you want? Seriously? I have to admit, I was just trolling... Seriously? This is what you want?

Think of it this way. You have an elderly invalid that you take care of, and you know he can't eat meat. You feed him cheeseburgers, three meals a day, every single day. It's the same with a baby. Are there no laws against smoking, drinking, and doing drugs during pregnancy? Whether abortion is legal or not, there should be laws against that. It's shockingly irresponsible.
