You never answered my question earlier, so I'll ask again. Are you willing to take responsibility for any child whose mother is planning on aborting it?
And how does your statement above fit into my points about IVF? Embryos are created in the process knowing full well that they will not all survive, so why is someone's moral responsibility different in this situation? An abortion is ending an accidental pregnancy, but the process of IVF is willingly creating life for it to die. Why does the latter get a pass, in your opinion?
