I wonder at what stage of development may the cluster of cells go into the "test tube" (so-called) in which a "test-tube baby" can live and develop normally. When pro-lifers object to terminating the life of an unborn, perhaps they might be given the chance, themselves, to pay for the "test-tube" process of development as well as for raising the child after he or she is old enough to breathe air.
I would like to remind everyone here that just because a child is born, that does not make a reason to suppose that both of his or her parents VOLUNTARILY engaged in sexual intercourse. If there is no abortion except where rape can be proven, I predict you will see a greater occurrence of charges of rape.
