The point is that there is all kind of outrage over the miscarriages and no one is talking about what it might have meant to be forced to bear this man's child.

We literally don't have criminal charges on the books for repeated rape and imprisonment resulting in unwanted pregnancies because it is so rare.

It's not about the charges filed. It's about the calls for prosecution for the miscarriages. Meanwhile the women who provided the life support and the horror it might have been to do so is completely ignored.
The woman is invisible while the fetus commonly pictured on anti-choice propaganda is front and center.

for young women if they "might" be pregnant.

They want half the human race to have the exact same rights as inseminated cattle.

It's all about the fetus.
No one is even questioning how horrible it might have been to carry and give birth under those conditions.
