Edward nods. "Yeah. Her name's Elizabeth, she's about fifteen. She and her partner, their BC failed, and like Russell said, a woman with automail isn't safe to have kids the old-fashioned way. And with two limb replacements, one of the full limb, she definitely would've been in trouble. Either the automail power sources would've starved the kid, or the kid would've starved the automail, which would've caused some very dangerous complications for her. So they induced a miscarriage, basically, and removed the womb while they were at it so it couldn't happen again. Her partner and brother neither one know about the baby- they only know about the hysterectomy. Her commanding officer and Riza know, it sounds like."
