This common belief (and I agree that it is common among christians) does not have any biblical support. There are no exceptions for children or unborn fetuses.

I'm not sure where you read that, but I read the 15% figure one of my medical texts (The The Core Curriculum: Ultrasound). The number of unrecognized miscarriages can not be known. By definition they occur before the woman knows she is pregnant, if she doesn't know she is pregnant, she doesn't know that she has miscarried. Self-abort, miscarriage, failed first trimester pregnancy, blighted ovum... We can call it anything, but it doesn't alter the basic fact that the number is unknown. I have never seen any estimate (besides yours) that places that number above 50% |
I can't quote. I am a aggresive pro-lifer and over the years pro-choicers often bring up about how many conceptions self abort. They seemed to be saying within a few days a majority fail. They would say this in some attempt to say aha how can you say they are people with God letting this happen.
I thought indeed a women would have a failed conception some 20 or 40 times over her life regardless of how many births.
TSince you are questioning this I'm put in doubt. Yet this was always brought up to pro-lifers.
