AIBU to be upset by what this lady said?

Friend, quite a few years older than me is talking about her step-daughter. She says she is pleased her daughter had a miscarriage as she thinks it was too soon after her first baby. She seems convinced that babies born closely after their sibling ps have problems. I know people who have had miscarriages, and although I haven't experienced one myself I think that it was a bit of an I thoughtful thing to say. What do you think?

The previous poster had genuine reasons for concern about the welfare of children born to someone, so to feel some relief that the child was not put through all that. I'm also very pro-choice so accept that it's better for some babies not to come into the world.

This woman is vile though. There are zero bad effects on a baby born soon after a sibling that I'm aware of. Would she have been equally pleased if the baby had been born and then died at a few days old? Or a few months old? How is her poor step daughter coping? I do hope she's not saying anything to her to put a 'positive light' on what happened.

Being generous I would say that she has a lack of empathy for someone who's just lost a baby, because she doesn't recognise that was a baby.

I'd have been too shocked to say much, but in hindsight would have asked her for proof/evidence of medical studies that show close in age siblings suffer from this. I'd certainly tell her not to voice any such opinions to her step daughter unless she wants to irreparably damage their relationship.
