A woman had a miscarriage and pleads for our sympathy saying that her "daughter died". Balderdash! She didn't have a daughter: a fetus is not a baby.

I am surprised the Guardian published this exaggeration, which is not only ridiculous but dangerous to women. Don't they see that this legitimizes the argument that religious extremists use to try to ban abortions?

For the sake of rights for billions of women, we must reject this plea for sympathy. We could offer her some sympathy for her miscarriage, if she ceases to package it with anti-abortionism.
