“Given that one in four pregnancies end in miscarriage, and the vast majority of them are unexplained, this rise in investigations of and the treatment of unexplained miscarriage as suspicious is deeply concerning…”
My family on my mothers side and my eldest sister all struggled to carry pregnancies to term in their 20’s, getting pregnant relatively easily, to then miscarry.
Heck, my mothers mom died in childbirth giving birth to her, she first had a long string of miscarriages and then was on the old side to have babies when my mom came along.
It’s all a very “hey, lets stigmatize and traumatize these people that are going through a horrible medical and psychological event in their lives some more!”.
A lot of the time miscarriages also aren’t even known about, it just looks like an irregular cycle. So there’s a fairly good chance the pregnancy would be news to the person accused of getting an illegal abortion.
