Since biology is unfair on this issue, and we as a society are not willing to provide true legal equality, (or provide for the termination or results of pregnancy in this matter), his position is entirely correct. Medical events _happen_. It sucks, but she is in this one on her own.

Yup, that’s my position too.

This surely isn’t the thread Dio was banned for, is it?

No, this thread is not.

And, by the way, let’s keep the facts straight, **Dio** wasn’t banned, he was SUSPENDED, meaning he will be back. There is a relevant thread in ATM about the suspension, so ya’ll can look it up if you’re curious.

Dio also wasn’t suspended for this thread or the miscarriage thread. He was suspended for getting into an argument with CitizenPained in a GD thread, and the both of them kept carrying it on after warnings were given out.
