A step in the right direction

I don't see what's so interesting about it. If you purposely kill the baby, it's called murder. If something else causes the tiny baby to die, that's not murder. While both are horribly sad, one is certainly avoidable.

I think what Holly meant is: if you believe early term abortion is legal, you should also think it proper to seek death certificates for miscarriages, bury the remains, even maybe hold funeral services, etc., just as you would for a baby. Her main point was that a miscarried fetus is not treated like a human being, so how can abortion of a similarly aged fetus be considered murder?

Ok. I'm sorry to Holly if I misunderstood her. It has been devastating for the people who I know that have had miscarriages. I disagree that a miscarried fetus is not treated like a human being.

Let me ask you this? Who do you think is paying for the abortions??

It depends on where the abortion takes place and who's getting it. If it's at a private practice office, the patient pays for it fully. If it's at Planned Parenthood, the patient and Planned Parenthood pay for part of it, depending on the patient's financial status. It is my understanding that some states also pay for all or a portion of abortions, but I doubt South Carolina is one of those states. I know Florida is not.
