Baby born at 21 weeks survives-should we revisit abortion laws?

Keepin abortion illegal=keeping it in the backstreet, where there is a danger to the woman. If she dies, is it the system and legislation that had murdered her?

Well what bout the context of involentary manslaughter or miscarriage ?

If a women is told or knows what certain behaviours may be dangerous to the contents of her womb and does them anyway and a miscarriage occurs would it be then involentary manslaugther ?

It might in certain states in the U.S legally speaking I'm not sure.

But if a woman deliberately did actions in order to have a miscarriage ie with wanting that as the net result-then yes it would go without saying as wrong in my book (going on what I said in my last post) but (and I'm not an expert) it would be perfectly legal as I'm not aware of any statutes broken (there may be but I doubt it).

Or drinking or fatty foods, or even driving a car tbh if you want to follow on the reasoning for it.
