  • My mother blamed calling it a "spontaneous abortion" for the "confusion" that led my neighbors health insurance company to deny coverage for her miscarriage. Now that I'm older I'm just like no the insurance company just didn't want to pay and found a reason that would hopefully traumatize a woman out of fighting them on it and were backed by a wider society that just hates women in general. Like I've heard people say it's more humane to call it a spontaneous abortion because "miscarriage" implies the woman did something wrong and idt the wording is actually going to manage to make the experience that much less awful but regardless I also don't think the wording was actually the issue in that situation. And the word abortion wouldn't be that stigmatized either if we didn't consider pregnancy as a punishment for sex that must be meted out no matter the circumstances of the sex itself or the physical, emotional, or social safety of the resulting pregnancy.

  • And everyone is wondering why more people don't want to have children.
