People don't talk about it a lot, but the miscarraige rate is something like 10-20%. You probably know at least a handful of women who've experienced one. It's fallacious to conclude somebody had an abortion because they're no longer pregnant but don't have a baby.
- TulliusCicero 4y ago...what does this have to do with what GP said? As far as I can tell, nothing. They never said, "anyone who's visibly pregnant and then later on visibly not-pregnant had an abortion."
- robonerd 4y agoI'm addressing the suggestion that an abortion isn't private when other people observe that a woman is no longer pregnant. > Nor is abortion necessarily private [...] or one could be visibly pregnant and then get an abortion. You wouldn't know that person had an abortion unless they told you. But then you might as well simply say "An abortion isn't private if the woman tells everyone she had one", which is the same as "one could declare one is going to have one" so I think that's not what was meant.
