Re: Abortion: Why Not Thoughts and Prayers?
mookie I think you're being intentionally obtuse. I'm probably not the first person to consider this argument, but I think I was the first one to advance it here. Life insurance for kids in many forms is not a new idea.
I'm not arguing for or against it, but if Conservatives insist on declaring a fetus a human being (nay child) as early as 6 weeks after conception than they should have to reconcile with insurers that this child can be insured the same way a child is now.
An intentional miscarriage (not difficult to prove if you've studied up on it) would be the same as murder and negate the policy.Last edited by Slap Shot; 06-04-2019, 02:03 PM.

Somebody, somewhere is making money on it. Holy Mother Church gets to promote its ideological and political message. And the people being raked over the emotional coals are quite literally asking for it. Probably unhealthy and easily exploited as a con, but more sad than stupid.

A little bit different twist than the life insurance take, but consider this hypothetical. Person X is pregnant and gets rear-ended in an accident by Toetfeasor Y. As a result of the accident, Person X has a miscarriage. If a fetus is a person, Person X could bring a wrongful death claim against Tortfeasor Y, which would likely net a judgment in excess of Tortfeasor Y's liability policy, and Person X could then make an underinsured motorist claim under her own policy.
As could be imagined (and as alluded to above), this would have a huge impact on the insurance industry and the premiums we all pay.North Dakota
