re: Why is abortion such a huge deal?

Well from a moral standpoint murder is a pretty big deal. For that reason, I like the Supreme Court decision.

I don't think this has really been thought out very well.

Let's concede that being human begins at conception, and abortion at any point is murder. Now we've invited the state into the womb to protect the rights of this human that can't fend for itself.

Fine.

But now, what happens when there's a miscarriage? Should that be investigated as a potential negligent homicide? And how can the state be aware of all the potential humans whose rights it must protect? Should all pregnancies be registered with the state just like births are now? And can we trust the government to conduct competent investigations to where they are not throwing innocent women in jail for having miscarriages?

It's a slippery slope.
