Coronavirus and the unborn

My mom was in utero when her mom caught smallpox and had to spend weeks quarantined in the family home with one of her children who also had caught it. Her husband and the four other kids had to go live some place else for that time. Grandma prayed to St Therese who was newly canonized. Mom was fine and had a lifetime immunity from smallpox and never needed a vaccine.
Grandma gave Mom the middle name Therese and St Therese was always her patron saint.

I wonder if the pro-choice people might use this as one more pretext to recommend abortion.

I’m 100% anti abortion but I think this is disingenuous. Maybe male partners looking for an excuse to pressure their pregnant partner might use this tact. Does anyone else actually recommend a woman have an abortion?

That’s not quite what I meant.

I meant that a woman might fall pregnant and later get the coronavirus (or fall pregnant while she has it and doesn’t know it yet), then have various parties (including male partners) to suggest “we don’t know that much about this virus, whether it stays in you , whether you can get it again, how it mutates, what effect it might have upon the unborn child even later in life — maybe you might want to do the ‘safe’ thing and just have an abortion, if you want to get pregnant later, that’s fine, but now might not be the best time”.

I think it is a question that could come up.

There was a case in London where a new born was diagnosed with Covid-19 along with the mother.
