摘要：
The relevance of abnormal autoimmune function to reproductive function in the female has over recent years become an increasingly controversial and contentious issue. Opposing views have led to a polarization of opinions which, at times, resulted in publications of rather vocal opinions by individuals as well as societal committees. This communication is an attempt to reconcile these, at times diametrically opposing opinions, in a concept of (auto)immune-driven reproduction failure, which could explain and unify these opposing opinions and, thus, hopefully end the ongoing 'immunological wars of the roses'.
