The baby you aborted? If you aborted your baby, it would be too late, so regardless of your age, would you try to have another child to replace the one who got killed? Would you also shove aside the life of the baby you killed, while working to have another embryo?
Below is a defintion of embryo. If you believe what a dictionary says, you will then know that life was snuffed OUT when a baby is aborted.

*snort* That AOL definition is too funny. Def 1a is "archaic"? AOL is a company with a political agenda and has deliberately chosen an archaic definition because it suits that agenda.
I'm a biologist. An embryo is the earliest stage of an organism's development during which it grows from unicellularity to a larval stage of differentiation; a fetus is the developing vertebrate during the period of gestation. It's not a matter of belief. Of course these creatures are alive -- but only so long as they are provided for by the body or the will of a parent. The difficult distinction is not life versus nonlife, but human-flesh-ness versus personhood.
One's suffering over an abortion is completely different than one's suffering over the loss of a child. Your question appears designed to provoke feelings of guilt over abortion, by making parents think about the death of their children. It's rather heavy-handed and manipulative, especially given that every child is a different person, and we have relationships with children - not with embryos. If your own child died, I ask you, would you want to take advantage of technology to clone it to try to get the same child back again? One child cannot replace another.

I'm so in favor of abortion that I'm trying to get it made retroactive. And you're first in line.
Interestingly, there are only 30 Million deer in the U.S. and we hunt those annually. There are 10 times that number of people in the U.S. And over 200 times as many people in the entire world.
Those deer are also lives being snuffed out. And don't bother me with some baloney about souls because you ain't shedding any tears for the 48,000 human lives snuffed out each year in traffic accidents ALONE.
In fact, from a religious viewpoint, I remember some story about an abortion attempt that ended up with a kid being dropped into a river. Seems that the Powers That Be interceded and the kid grew up to lead thousands of people out of Egypt to some promised land.
Remember, children are just one MORE example of Sexually Transmitted Disease.

Strange question and a big difference in circumstances. I find it strange that an embryo is considered "alive" in abortion cases but many States claim if a pregnant woman is killed and the baby doesn't survive, it is not murder of the baby because it never "breathed or cried". I am a believer in the womans right to choose.

What if your child died because she could not get a life saving abortion in time?
An ectopic pregnancy will always kill the pregnant mother if an abortion is not performed.
The #1 cause of abortion, is, was, and always will be the stigma on unwed mothers from the religious right. Yet, they refuse to stop this abortion-producing behavior, even though they claim to be anti-abortion.

I would think not, it was aborted for a reason and those reason should not change years after.
I do not have any real position on this matter but believe this should be regulated by state, not on the federal level.

your making a HUGE assumption by comparing the two. if a child was already born, that's one thing. to assume the two are similar is a bit naive and pretentious to support your argument.

I think abortions are sick and if you don't want your kid then give it up for adoption its better than taking a life of an inicent littke baby!!!!
