Most human embryos naturally die after conception – restrictive abortion laws fail to take this embryo loss into account

Summary

Nutrition label

81% Informative

Most human embryos die before anyone, including doctors, even know they exist.

Around 60% of embryos disintegrate before people may even be aware that they are pregnant.

An evolutionary force called meiotic drive plays a role in early embryo loss in humans.

Early loss of aneuploid embryos can direct maternal resources to healthier newborns rather than twins.

Between 1973 and 2005 , over 400 women were arrested for miscarriage in the U.S. Kathryn Kavanagh , UMass Dartmouth , says early embryo loss is exceedingly common.

Some states still require doctors to wait until the health of the pregnant person is endangered before allowing induced abortion of nonviable fetuses.
