I know that, but I don't believe that the chance that a miscarriage might happen justifies abortion.

I apologize for using the word 'guarenteed' so handwave-y. What I meant that was that if the baby is born it is guarenteed to have the inherent value of a human life.
At birth, yes. Prior to that point it is more difficult to discern, largely because we continue to insist that our biology conform to the discrete ideas in our head, rather than wrapping our ideas around the continuum of development that actually exists.
