2. Mother Nature/ human genetics makes some horrific mistakes.

Approximately 50% of first trimester spontaneous abortions/miscarriages are due to genetic defects.

A good many of these are considered incompatible with life - conditions that are fatal in utero, or shortly after birth. No brain. No kidneys. A heart so malformed that it cannot be repaired surgically. Lungs completely underdeveloped from a hole in he diaphragm that allowed the intestines to crowd into the chest cavity and prevent the lungs from growing.

There is a book entitled Smith’s Recognizable Patterns of Human Malformation. It should be required reading/viewing foe every pro-life/forced birther out there who thinks it is up to them to make decisions for others.

The 8th edition, published a year ago, has over 1000 pages according to the online reduction description.
