Our society does not hold funerals for miscarried fetuses. It’s a sad event (usually) to be sure, but fetuses are not treated by our society the same as born babies.
A decision to terminate a pregnancy should be up to the pregnant woman, not the state, not her neighbor, not her friend, not even the father. That last part? Not fair, but we don’t live in perfect world, and neither would it be fair for a father to force a woman to birth a child.
