from the linked article...

"The Catholic Church is adamant that life begins at conception, and yet it doesn’t always treat pregnancy losses as a loss of life, particularly when a miscarriage happens early in a pregnancy, before a fetus is viable outside the uterus. Everyone from the pope to the parish priest talks about the fetus as a baby, says Melissa Veselovsky, an Arizona woman who has had two miscarriages, but almost no one is prepared to treat a miscarried or stillborn fetus as a child. “If we’re really serious about life issues,” Veselovsky says emphatically, “we have to look not just at abortion, but also at miscarriage. We can’t say an aborted life is a life that begins at conception if we don’t acknowledge the ones that are lost in miscarriage.”

Obviously, this has direct implications for the abortion issue...I'm clearly not the only one confused by this substantial dichotomy.
Note...aside from the grief women and families suffer from miscarriages, some proposed anti-abortion laws would have the effect of heaping even more sorrow on their shoulders...let's keep that in mind.
