I think that if you're pro-life from the moment of conception onward, you're a bit hypocritical if you're fine with the fact that a lot of fertilized eggs don't implant and pass out of the mother without her knowledge. If you think that all human organisms deserve to live, you can't just ignore a huge group of them that are dying for no reason. Maybe you should push for more funding of research into helping more fertilized eggs implant, even if it means taking away funding from research into "less important" diseases (whatever you think those might be).

Since I can't make myself care about these fertilized eggs that fail to implant, I'll probably never be an extreme pro-lifer. As I said in that other topic, I'm okay with abortion at any time before birth, but that's largely because it's an easy line to draw. I'm fine with looking down on a woman who gets a late-term abortion because she wants to go on a ski trip, say---though I've read that almost no woman gets a late-term abortion for a frivolous reason like that.
