Actually, no. Most (65% is the number I see tossed around most often) pregnancies end in miscarriage, often before the woman even notices a missed period.

About a third of noticed pregnancies end in miscarriage, which would put miscarriage about three orders of magnitude higher than abortion in "conclusion of a pregnancy." You don't hear regular outcry into getting the number of miscarriages down to save unborn babies but jesus fucking christ do you hear about abortion every god damn year like clock work.

Life doesn't "begin" when the egg is fertilized. Live already existed. What do you think the egg is? Just a lump of protein? Life is a continuous line going back to our common ancestor. It mixes and branches, but it is a continuous motion.

If what you care about is giving the best life to as many people as possible, forcing someone against their will to give birth is directly counter to that. Forcing pregnancies which will kill the mother is directly counter to that. Forcing rape victims to carry out their pregnancy is directly counter to that.

If you care about your religions morals that say when the beginning of life is, then by all means follow your religion. But forcing people to abide by your religious morals on this is no different than the middle east forcing women to not show their hair because jesus mohammad said so.

If you don't believe in abortion, don't get one. If you are a man who doesn't believe in abortion, don't have sex without a condom with women who believe differently than you.

Can we please move past this? It's been settled in the supreme court decades ago. We have so many more things we should be caring about instead of what medical treatments a super small percent of people elect to have.
