Thirty to fifty percent of fertilized eggs are lost before a woman finds out she's pregnant.

And to you, these microscopic cell clusters are all dead children?

Not potential children? Not 'blueprints' for potential children, but children? Menstruation represents a sort of holocaust?

Don't you think dead children should have some sort of funeral or memorial service instead of being routinely and unceremoniously flushed down the toilet or thrown in the garbage? I think I'd wish for that, if I were delusional and under the impression that fertilized ova were children and oblivious women were flushing these kids down the toilet.

Steve, I just don't believe you think that those fertilized ova, 30-50% of which just exit with menstruation, are really children. It's just something you say, I'll bet. You'd have your reasons, of course. But if you thought they were children, you'd be backing medical research to save the lives of that 30-50%. And maybe research for tests that would allow a woman to distinguish between menses that contain kids and those which don't, so at least proper observances could be made after her children have died, and mourning could commence.

Basically, steve, I suspect that deep down you don't believe that fertilized ova are children at all.
