New Research Shows Most Human Pregnancies End in Miscarriage


"Previous research has found that somewhere between 10 and 20 percent, or as many as 1 in 4 known pregnancies end in miscarriage, also known medically as spontaneous abortion."

"But there's one other very important qualifier to note: Many women don't even know they're pregnant initially; and, since most miscarriages happen in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, many miscarry without even knowing it's happening."


does God cause these spontaneous abortions?
all these babies are dying before many women even know they're pregnant!

Many people die. In fact everybody dies. And yet it is considered wrong by every society to commit murder or manslaughter. If what you are getting at is that abortion is OK because God allows miscarriages then it is OK to murder because God allows death.

I don't believe in abortion just stating what the paper says:



"To reproduce, a human female cannot forgo a high risk of [spontaneous] abortions, and to have a large family it is virtually impossible to avoid multiple [spontaneous] abortions," he wrote in his paper."

"Modern birth control with access to elective abortions, markedly reduces - rather than increases - the lifetime number of abortions a woman produces."

My reaction is that there will be a whole lot more people in heaven than I was expecting!

Why would God want these precious little ones to die? Couldn't the woman just use contraceptives instead? Then no life need be lost
Spontaneous abortion refers to a miscarriage.

I know but surely if God has some reason to make sure these children couldn't live he would have found some way of preventing them being conceived in the first place? He could make the women barren . Why punish innocent babies ??

One possibility is that from God's point of view, death isn't a punishment.

God's ways are not our ways. I ultimately do not know the answer to this question.

Does God cause these spontaneous abortions?

All these babies are dying before many women even know they're pregnant!

There obviously is no baby being killed because all babies are born. Nobody who knows the word baby is able to say this is not true. It has always meant and always will mean "a born human under one year old" or medically, "the fifth stage of child development."

Miscarriages are caused by both God and the mother. She could have killed her child because she had not learned about her pregnancy yet and done something that kills unborn children. They also happen when a pregnant woman gets sick. Another problem is little girls getting pregnant. When they are still growing up themselves, the risk of miscarriage is much higher.

Then there is God. He certainly does kill many of His children in utero.

You are blaming mothers for having a miscarriage?

Who knows? God allows things to happen without his intervention. The creation of a new human is an amazing thing and if one thing goes wrong, the woman's body can abort it. There are countless factors and clarifying this is a long winded topic that is lost on text-only information.

Not all but some mothers with or without knowing they are pregnant. I've seen a video of one woman who flaunted her pregnant body in a bikini while smoking.
that's terrible
