As a result of not getting out much, I spend a lot of time online. I’m a member of a couple of forums, and lots of my friends post links to interesting things on Facebook. I post links to less interesting things on Facebook. But anyway, courtesy of one of my forums, I have found out some rather disturbing information relating to America and abortion laws. Oh, and the criminalisation of miscarriages too. So while I can understand how some people may regard abortion as murder (After a certain point anyway. And I would like to point out here that I am pro-choice), I fail to see how women who suffer miscarriages could be accused of such. Given there are so many medical reasons for miscarriage it is totally wrong to assume the women have done something to purposely terminate their pregnancies. It is scary and sickening that this is happening really. Especially in this day and age where we know a fair bit about biology and everything. Anyway, I do have a couple of links. Just hope they work.

It’s a scary world out there. A very scary world.
