Well, no, not after a miscarriage. But before one there's life. That's a silly thing to say. If there is no life before a miscarriage, nobody would care if they miscarried - because they wouldn't have been losing a life.

By the way, at 22 weeks a fetus has stuff all chances of living. Less than 50%. Two weeks from now, though, those chances will improve.
Congrats on the pregnancy, by the way.

Thanks.
By the way, at 22 weeks the foetus has a just fine chance of living. It may need medical assistance, but there's plenty chance there. Less than 50% is still one in two. That's kind of more than `stuff all'.
I work in medicine, and have done for seven years. I am pregnant. I have seen several babies survive perfectly well after such an early-term delivery.
Regardless of this fact, anyway, they are still alive until they die. Ergo, it's life.
Am I right in assuming that you actually don't really want children? You seem to have a particularly callous attitude towards them - which kind of spins me out for a woman. Not criticising you at all - your choices are your own - but some of your assertions are plain absurd.
