> knowingly causing miscarriage of a pregnancy should be investigated as manslaughter

Then, legally, carrying out an abortion would need to be investigated as manslaughter as well.

Think of the implications.

How is a woman who is hosting the fetus’s decision the same as the choice being made for her (by involuntarily poisoning)?

If it’s a fetus how can it ever be manslaughter?

Either killing a fetus is the same as killing a human, or you pretend fetus aren’t human and they don’t have rights.

You can have the cake and eat it too!
