A miscarriage is natural.
Im going to be honest here: what we call "morality" is simply a construct. There is no morality. There is nothing actually wrong with killing other things, and we tend to do it quite a bit (insecticide is more like "insect genocide").
That said, i value life. I value all life. It may only be because my own emotions tell me that this is what is moral. I don't know.
Murder is only wrong if you are human. The cat that just walked by outside wouldn't care at all if the guy across the street decided to murder me right now. The only beings that would care are other humans.
I think it's amazing that we have a section of America that sees murder as a personal freedom. Even Justice Harry Blackmun–the guy who gave us Roe v. Wade, conceded that a fetus is, in fact, a person. As such was protected under the 14th amendment.
The Constitution never mentions abortion. Still, Blackmun insisted it was protected under the “right of privacy.” Where’s that right laid out? Well, Blackmun himself admitted, “The Constitution does not explicitly mention any right of privacy.” That didn’t stop him from finding one.
I would point out that living within the framework of the Constitution is not, in fact, being pro-authoritarian. After all, we are supposed to be a nation of laws, not feelings.
And I would hope that we can at least all agree that being anti-murder isn't being pro-authoritarian. Although who knows, since now we have inanimate objects that are to blame for murder now, according to the same section of America. Thankfully, still the minority.

But one is not dependent upon the other, which was your argument.
Nope.
Because the 14th was specifically mentioned.
At the very beginning.

Those that refuse to read that LAW.
No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge
is absurd.
It doesn't pertain only to issues the left favors.
It covers every GD person in this country for every GD issue we talk about.

Sure, but my assertion still stand. One is not dependent upon the other, which was your argument.

No it wasn't.
Your twisting it that way.
As expected.
IF a woman has the right to get an abortion.
We have the right to own a firearm of our choosing.

A quote from Mike Pence
What the American people need is not more health care. What we need is more Jesus care. I believe the if we can just get more of these people with pre-existing health conditions back to churches you would see a lot of healings and many of these problems would just go away. People who lead Godly lives don’t worry about Doctors. We have The Lord to take care of us.
I don’t think he even knows what healthcare is?
