I usually stay out of the Politics Forum for various reasons, but I do have fairly strong opinions on this particular topic. Can't keep quiet. [/disclaimer]

I can't think of any where, tbh. (I'm not much of a 'fetal-rights' fan)

Hmm. In short, no.
However, this is not so simple. If the group of cells has reached the point of maturity where it could live on it's own
without life support devices, and the mother does something extremely negligent to cause this miscarriage, then yes. Fair enough.

I surely have no answer to that one.
