    Miscarriages account for around 50% of pregnancies, though some studies put them as high as 75%, since most people don’t realize they’ve miscarried if it’s early enough.

    The subhumanity of forced-birthers is unimaginable. Literally. We cannot imagine what state of mind could produce this anti-abortion obsession, because no sane mind would ever do so.

      I think the number may change depending on the framing. ~50% of all fertilized eggs fail to implant, in which case the woman would have a regular period. If you count those as miscarriages, I could imagine seeing a number as high as 75%.

        A missed implantation is not a pregnancy because it will never cause a positive pregnancy test. The extra 25% is the first 6-8 weeks where you’re still in “missed period” territory but most women would not have tested unless they were trying to get pregnant.
