Reply to comment by Stevenntrann in TIL, the placenta that forms with a fetus isn't created by the mother. It grows from the fertilized egg and some fetuses actually develop outside the uterus attached to the intestines in the body cavity. by darw1nf1sh
Yes, there would be a risk of defects in wanted pregnancies, in contraceptive failures or sexual assault. As for anatomy during pregnancy, the mothers body DOES see the fetal placenta as foreign, which is why the immune system is suppressed by various mechanisms during pregnancy, so thar her body doesn't attack the fetus. My background is biochemistry and embryology so I DO know a lot about anatomy and maternal vs fetal behavior. The most practical and kind approach would be for anti choice people to not interfere in things they know nothing about. Let the doctor and the woman make decisions about her life and body.
