Even in the second trimester?! Does anyone even know how it is destroyed at that time?
And if someone rationalizes it that way, do they also think shooting someone in the head is the same as if the person died from a heart attack?

you have no control over a miscarriage....you have all the control over an abortion

I actually don't know anyone who would dare to say that miscarriage is like abortion (meaning voluntary abortion, where a person chooses to end their pregnancy).
If anyone said that, that would be really awful, b/c I had a miscarriage in April and I loved and wanted that baby and would have done anything in my power to keep and protect it. Something went wrong though, and my little baby just died and left me- nothing I could do about it.
The only thing that is similar about a miscarriage and an abortion is that many women who have abortions eventually have to face that the life that was inside them was a person- and they usually have to grieve that, sometimes even years and years (even decades) later. I actually feel kind of bad for them b/c then they not only have to deal with the sorrow of never having held their baby- they have to deal with the guilt of having taken it's life.
It's really sad either way, but they are not the same.

Because the imbecile in question wants to control women's lives.
I knew a woman who lost a kid because of the Rh factor. Her own body created anti-bodies that killed her own kid, and the doctors missed it.
A godnazi we worked with blamed her, and said publicly that she killed her own kid.
Additional:
"mothertime2001" asked,
"Does the medical community consider a miscarriage an abortion?"
No, they don't, but some/many of the religious reich do. I wouldn't put it past fundamentally retarded christians to advocate the investigation of use of RU486 by any woman who has a miscarriage. Read the link below for a real-life horror story.
IMHO, the use of abortion and the RU486 pill are not desireable, but when the realities of ignorance, poverty, health or violence are involved, the rules change. The only people I feel no sympathy for and would oppose an abortion for are the ones who know the consequences of unprotected sex but choose not to be responsible.

Growing up I was around a lot of elderly well educated people who would use the phrase aborted so NOT to imply the woman did something to "looses" the child. The fetus aborted at three months, or the pregnancy terminated itself....I hope what you heard was someone using a term in another meaning. My sister lost a child at four months and we all went through a greiving. If I can care for the welfare of strangers I have not met, why wouldn't I care for the loss of my sister's childwe would never be able to meet?

I have a question for you.
Does the medical community consider a miscarriage an abortion?
I know that my ectopic pregnancy is considered an abortion. Perhaps it is the aborting of the pregnancy (natural or otherwise) that causes others to consider a miscarriage an abortion.

Wikipedia defines abortion as: "the removal or expulsion from the uterus of an embryo or fetus, resulting in or caused by its death. This can occur spontaneously as a miscarriage, or be artificially induced through chemical, surgical or other means."
I think the term "abortion" is a medical term; however, I agree that abortion (as we use the term in everyday language) and miscarriage are completely different.

Who could possibly think that abortion and miscarriage are the same thing? I mean really? But as to what you were saying with the analogy and sort, I couldn't agree with you more.
