       | limited to the first trimester, are my views, for example)

       | So are miscarriages, ectopic pregnancies and all those plumbing
       | problems that can hinder normal birth. Eventually, it will end up
       | having women as bed-ridden brood mares to prevent them from
       | risking their fetus through action. But then, as George Carlin
       | said, the second they're born, they're screwed. They're not pro-
       | life they're pro birth. Once alive, kids are on their own.
