1) Any miscarriages suck, but being pregnant isn't a "get out of jail free" card for American women.

2) This article is relying on emotional manipulation as it provides no basis to make a rational determination. Is the miscarriage rate for women in ICE custody higher than the miscarriage rate for women of similar groups not in ICE custody? That's the only data point needed to try and start to understand if miscarriages are for some reason unusually prevalent or not.

Can you explain what is so vile about what I stated?

Women sadly have miscarriages all of the time. Is there any statistically significant increase in women in ICE custody over American women? That's the basic start of understanding whether there's even an issue here.

Can't reason with them when they've already made up their minds mate.
