I am quite certain that a lot of those who claim that human life (in the sense of life that is worthy of protection) starts with conception /fertilization do not know that about 50 to 70 per cent of fertilized eggs do not implant in the uterus.
After fertilization happens in the fallopian tube the body checks the zygote and in case there is something wrong with it, it is flushed out with the next menstrual bleeding, an early stage miscarriage not noticed by the woman.

One could say that mother nature not only selects "human beings" (and the defective ones are sorted out) but also practices a sort of early abortion, and given that - according to those who believe that human life starts with fertilization - God has created the human body the way it is, one could say that Nature or God are abortion doctors: yes, 50, maybe even 70 per cent of "human beings" are regularly and naturally "killed" before they are born (even in Saudi Arabia or Alabama).

So tired of the phrase "life starts". Both the sperm and egg were already alive at conception.

Just nitpicking.

Which is why many women who actually know they are pregnant do not tell family friends until they reach the 3 month mark....I am sure every woman is well aware of many heavy bleeding periods that easily could have been miscarriages for a number of reasons...

This quality control system makes mistakes, I guess, or Downs Syndrome wouldn't exist.

Another way of looking at it is the quality control system determines nothing is wrong with Downs Syndrome.

I read somewhere that Downs and other brain / spinal defects are linked to folic acid deficiency during pregnancy - am sure one of the ladies on here will give chapter and verse on this

And as far as I can see there is nothing wrong with Downs. A girlfriend of mine had a Downs brother and we had the greatest fun. He had a very fulfilling life.

Their minds are made up; don't confuse them with a bunch of meaningless facts.

True, and this process can occur a anytime during the first trimester of pregnancy.
