The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

LurkerMom: You all believe though however you want. Don’t matter to me.

I believe you left out anything that doesn't fit your narrative, such as:

Unfortunately, just because an egg is fertilized, it doesn’t mean that a pregnancy will occur.

Wait wut? I thought you said it was a baby.

It’s possible to have damaged fallopian tubes due to a history of pelvic infections or other disorders. As a result, the embryo could implant in the fallopian tube (improper location), which would cause a condition called an ectopic pregnancy. This can be a medical emergency because the pregnancy cannot continue and can cause fallopian tube rupture.


Gee, weren't physicians refusing to do D&C procedures in some states?

For other women, the blastocyst of fertilized cells may not implant at all, even if it reaches the uterus.

In some cases, a woman’s uterine lining isn’t thick enough for implantation. In other cases, the egg, sperm, or portion of the embryo may not be high quality enough to successfully implant.


So evidently not all embryos are babies.
