and why are pro-lifers so against abortion, when they have no plan as to how to care for it once it gets here?

True, the irony of life. Miscariages are called natural abortions...but I guess those are ok to have, right pro-lifers?

Miscarriages happen for a variety of reasons. A lot of times there is something wrong with the embryo. What does having a plan have to do with abortion. You have to remember that for us pro-life people we consider an unborn baby to be of no less worth than a baby that has already been born. Asking us that questions is like saying that you should be able to kill babies that have already been born because their life isn't so great. It's the same thing to us. Anyways there are many couple who would love to adopt a little newborn. If you're pregnant you can get hooked up with an adoption agency that will help you choose a couple. These babies are easily adopted. The ones who are in the foster care system are ones that get taken away from parents for mistreatment at an older age and it's harder to adopt out an older child.

A miscarriage takes place when there is something taking place that may affect the future of the child. The baby produces a chemical that suppresses the mother's immunial response to expel a foreign growth. If the child does not produce enough of it, or the mother's immune system to very strong, than a miscarriage takes place. One of the major problems is women getting pregnant before their bodies are fully mature, at age 24, whether by accident, intent, or force, as when artificial means are used.
As for why God allows miscarriages to take place, he didn't, Adam did by choosing a woman over the future of all humans. In the beginning, when humans were near perfect, I imagine there were no miscarriages, but also because of their very long lives, pregnancies would have been spread out over decades. Otherwise the earth would have over-populated very quickly.
That might make for an interesting equation. How many people would have been born, if a women began having their first child at say age 25, than another every five years, for 500 years, estamating a life span of 800 years?

If God is real, I don't think it would be his will for a baby to be terminated. Why would he create a person, only to change his mind? Especially knowing the suffering it would cause. Miscarriages I believe are caused by our health. It is just a sad consequence of our lifestyle, for example it has been shown that stress can cause miscarriage. I'm not sure... I don't even know if I believe in him but in the old testament there were over 600 laws given to the Israelites. These include dietary laws. Maybe these are pretty much his parental guidelines to us all, to ensure things like this don't happen? We believe the medical institution and follow their laws such as never eating raw chicken etc... so maybe God's laws are the same? It is just a matter of whether he is real or not

The Bible does not comment specifically about spontaneous miscarriages. We can be sure, though, that God has compassion on those who have suffered through them. He cries and suffers with us, simply because He loves us and feels our pain. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, promised to send His Spirit to all believers so that we will never have to go through trials alone (John 14:16). Jesus said in Matthew 28:20, “And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
Any believer who has suffered a miscarriage should have faith in the glorious hope of one day seeing their child again. An unborn child is not only a fetus or a “piece of tissue” to God, but is one of His children. Jeremiah 1:5 says that God knows us while we are still in the womb. Lamentations 3:33 tells us that God “does not enjoy hurting people or causing them sorrow.” Jesus promised to leave us with a gift of peace unlike any kind that the world can give (John 14:27).
Romans 11:36 reminds us that everything exists by God's power and is intended for His glory. Although He does not inflict suffering on us for punishment, He will allow things to come into our lives that we can use to bring glory to Him. Jesus said, “I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world” (John 16:33).

I'd love to see the pro-lifers try and find a way to stop it.
And why don't they protest in front of fertility clinics, isn't that against God's will, too? But I guess it is different if a life is being created...

That's the big lie, baby. We have TONS of plans on what to do with the babies. So many people want to adopt. There are even adoption agencies for fertile embryos. We just have to convince people to let them go.
Abortion hurts. It hurts the women who have them. It hurts the child who millions of peole are waiting to love. There are more women dying of legalized abortion than there ever were from the proverbial back alley ones.
Think about it. 3 people die of spinach tainted with e-coli and all the spinach is pulled from shelves. But 8 women die of the abortion pill and that's ok.
Ask yourself why that is. Ask yourself if you deserve better treatment than that.

Your question makes no sense at all. That is like asking "if God is anti-murder, why do people die?"
There is a world of difference between the natural death of a person who is not viable, vs. the willful murder of a perfectly healthy human being. This is just as true before birth as it is later in life.

You will have to ask God, do you think Jesus would be running an Abortion Clinic?
Why do teenagers die in car wrecks, does that mean that God wants all teenagers to die?
Get real.
There are tons of programs for unwanted babies.
Any of them are better than murder
Do some research.
Peace!

First of all God did not cause anyone to miscarry. Hes a loving God.
Second of all Murder is murder no matter how you want to coat it and God does not want people to kill other people.
If a person is irresponsible and gets pregnant then does not want that child then there are alot of people out here willing to adopt that child.
