If you try your best and fail, the question then is, do you accept the consequences yourself, or do you expect an innocent life to pay for the consquences?

No, Chris, you have not framed it accurately.

You don't want an innocent life to pay and neither do I. By "accepting the consequences" as you see them, you are expecting others to pay, too. You are expecting the baby to pay by having a rotten life. You are expecting any victims there may be of that baby grown into rotten adulthood. You are expecting the taxpayers to pay. You are expecting society in general to pay. If it were just the woman who paid, you might have an argument, but it isn't.

That's what it boils down to.

So what it boils down to is who pays how much. We have very different ideas about that.

I think a flushed embryo has the most favorable probability of least harm by far.
