Reproduction attempts have successes and failures, some of the failures (and successes) even threatening the mother or other conceptions. Those are just the facts.

I don't believe I've taken a pro or con position on abortion in this thread. My position is against all unborn have humans rights from conception and gave biologic/medical reasons and examples in support of  that position.

But just to be clear, I'm pro choice. However that debate is for another time/thread. The water in this thread has been to muddied. The last sentence of your first paragraph is a perfect example.

Supporters of partial birth abortion are extremists. The first people to muddy the waters were those using the phrase forced birth. I am willing to allow that an embryo has developmentally appropriate rights in the same sense that children have fewer rights than adults.

You're allowed consider them extremists but I think, for you, it extends beyond partial birth abortion.

Do you know that the actual medical procedure is called dilation[D] and extraction[X] (not to be confused with evacuation[E]), that "partial birth abortions" on living a fetus have been banned and that providers do their utmost to insure that the fetus is deceased before a D&X is performed? So not that many or any actual partial birth abortions are performed and if performed it's thru necessity. I can't imagine that a physician going to knowingly going put themself in legal jeopardy.

Continuing, let me ask you, isn't "forced birth" a valid way to reference the legal ramifications women faced prior to Roe v Wade? Prior, a woman would have to break the law or cause a miscarriage. Estimates of illegal abortions prior to R v W run as high as 25%. 

The waters were muddied when you used all unborn have humans rights from conception, and I challenged. I/we have addressed the problems with both unborn and human rights.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
