I think you're entering the naturalistic fallacy, in that because something occurs naturally it's OK or moral.
If you ask, how can conceiving a baby be a bad thing? Well that's the point of this thread. Sure, it's part of the natural processes that as many as 50% of pregnancies end in miscarriage. But just because something occurs naturally, doesn't mean we have to like it.
I'll go back to the example I gave to Hank77.
If you let someone drive a car and half the time they kill someone, do you still let them drive?
If you let someone get pregnant and half the time they kill someone, do you still let them get pregnant?
Or is my analogy faulty because a fetus isn't a person?
Your analogy is false because it isn't comparing apples to apples. You are talking about killing and then asking about a baby dying of natural causes.
You are saying that why would we attempt to conceive a baby if it stands a chance of dying....I am saying that it does, at a rate of 100% ... every single baby conceived will die at some time. Some die naturally in the womb, some die in car accidents, some die of cancer and other diseases, and others die of natural causes related to old age. They are all 100% human. And they all die at a rate of 100%. We don't stop having babies because they might die in car accidents or of diseases. The mother didn't kill her baby that naturally miscarried. The baby simply died for a whole host of potential reasons...mostly natural. And the number of conceptions that end in miscarriage is not a known number since the majority of those babies die before the mother knows she is even pregnant.
