I also reckon, she was needling Mike to flip She only threw the spiteful abortion at Michael after he mentioned miscarriage
Bang! live abortion Grenade — son! son! son! — thrown under Michael, to hit him where she knew would hurt him the most
1. It wasn't a miscarriage -- it was an abortion. An abortion Michael. Just like our marriage is an abortion.
2. I didn't want your son Michael -- I wouldn't bring another one of you sons into this world.

1. the only opportunity was the family doctor who wouldn't dare perform an abortion on Michael Corleone's wife

The variety of the posts shows just how much nuance is contained in this absolutely beautiful cinema Let's keep them coming!
