I don’t understand why the fact that miscarriages are “natural” makes them an acceptable way for babies to die. Infectious diseases and SIDS are natural and we don’t accept them. Why is the destruction of a zygote’s existence only a problem when a human being chooses it? Half of all humanity has died this way. Don’t you feel like something should be done about it?

Of course we should, and do, work on ways to reduce miscarriage. It’s ‘acceptable’ in the same way that death by cancer is ‘acceptable’. We do all we can to save human beings afflicted with cancer, but we don’t yet understand how to cure it. Similarly, we do what we can to prevent miscarriage, but we don’t yet understand how to prevent it.
We do understand how to prevent abortion: we simply stop ripping living human beings out of the womb.
