In point of fact until segregation academies were threatened with loss of tax status it was well understood in protestant communities that if the life of the mother or child were held in balance, the life of the mother dominates. Christians literally say that early pregnancies are not living and ensouled in the common prayer: the quick and the dead.

One becomes quick, meaning live and ensouled, traditionally, at quickening.

Which occurs about when the second trimester ..... but that tax exemption meant they had to get the rubes riled at something.
