We have a court system so people can proive their innocence?
Dont you think, under your scenario, that the situation would be investigated -before- charges were filed, rather than taking someone to court first and determining the facts second?
Yes, but investigations just show that there is evidence of wrongdoing; one has to prove one's innocence in court. Of course, if the investigation shows no evidence of wrongdoing, then innocence is assumed and does not need to be proved, but I think Gibberish's point is that women who could be shown to have partaken in "risky" behavior would need to prove their innocence in the miscarriage of their children, because if they were found to be responsible, they would be murderers. If the unborn were persons with protection under the law, that is.
