Fair enough. What's your take on the practice of some women in the Middle Ages of going horseback riding in order to induce a miscarriage? Should they have been stopped because it was murder? Should sexually active women of child-bearing age be prevented from ever riding a horse on the general principle that it might be murder? Just where do you arbitrarily move the line TO and why?
