Thank you for your careful use of negligence and recklessness (vs the intentionality required for 'murder').
from GP:

Just as a data point: GP/spoils19, you don't come off as pro-life the way that I am -- babies aren't the property of the State.
My wife had at least two miscarriages. We both desperately wanted every one of those babies. To imply that my late wife somehow neglected the care of those fetuses would be a very, very ugly accusation.
The majority of pregnancy (the vast majority of you count from fertilization, as several new state laws expressly do) naturally and irreducibly end in miscarriage.
Also, even if one were to grant that this was negligent (which is ridiculous) and that zygotes were deserving of the same consideration as born persons, negligent (or even reckless) homicide is generally not murder for any other victim.
