E, please accept my sympathy for your miscarriage. I know how deep the attachment between mother and child is - and between father and child, as well.

E, you know, I thought the same thing at the time. But in all fairness to the doctor, he didn't exactly turn to me and say, this is a foot. It was more like he was trying to make sure he got it all and was explaining and counting each part to the nurse as I stood right next to him. I also think I was morbidly curious and asked a question or two, then immediately regretted it. I still cringe thinking about it though. Sorry to hear of your loss. I can imagine it was a very sad and disturbing thing to go through. After my wife had her first, I did some research into mis-carriages and was surprised to learn how common they are. And the strange thing is the doctor's rarely understand what causes them. My wife has a rare blood type, so they kept thinking that was the issue, but they really didn't know. We made darn sure after the first to get that Rogan shot early, and when we were supposed to. But it didn't seem to help much. We held our breath on the last pregnancy, and I hired a person to come take care of the house for 4 weeks to relieve the stress on my wife, until we felt the danger zone had passed. Thanks for attempting to answer that tough question on abortion. I suppose if I were consistent with my belief's, I would say the mother can do anything she wants in the first trimester. But I can't, and like you I struggle with the other issues related to drinking and drugs. Michael
