Throw Roe vs Wade out with the bathwater.
If you kill a fertilized egg with a coathanger, then it follows that to kill it with the wrong diet or smoking or some other random act is murder without full intent, or manslaughter.

It's a matter of human rights. If you believe a fetus has a right to live, then all fetuses deserve the right to a full inquest on their death. Regardless of whether it was death through abortion or death through miscarriage they had the right to live and their mother didn't act appropriately to assure their survival.

If you believe abortion is murder how can you not believe that miscarriage is manslaughter? Take a real-life example. If I rented out my house to a tenant and then poisoned them in their sleep with gas, possibly because I didn't pipe it properly, would I be innocent of their deaths? Logically it can't be any different to smoking while pregnant if one believes a fetus has the right to live.

Get pregnant and smoke, you lose.

1. Don't tempt them
They'll agree with you and limit women's rights that much more.

4. Error, need to register BEFORE getting pg
since that can affect them also. Maybe they should just register all a female baby's eggs when she is born, just in case.

3. I assume you are being very sarcastic here? Otherwise, I don't get you.
