Well, we live in a country where they are trying to require a funeral for the results of an abortion. This isn't inconceivable... So to speak.

That is honestly so smart and where the logic leads one. That is a perfect example of the problem of simple thinking.

Another example would be the death penalty. Every person who commits a murder has something wrong with them and we know juries make mistakes, so the death penalty makes no sense and why every western democracy but ours has outlawed it.

We are the laggards intellectually of the western democracies.

But assuming one really BELIEVES that a human life is created at conception, then surely we should throw money at the issue of implantation for each and every such life. AFAIK, the only $ thrown at that problem now is for those seeking help with fertility treatments. But we should really intervene in every zygote's case, and rescue it if its not going to implant, and then keep it in the deep freeze until technology reaches the point where we can develop them successfully. Or just like with abortion vs adoption, we can have a willing woman (couples only in the RW world??) waiting to take your zygote and give it a welcoming womb?

To just let it die without anyone caring or even knowing it existed, for shame! At a bare minimum, we need to develop fitness monitors worn 24/7 that alerts a couple to the joy of their zygote's arrival, and that way when it passes, they can have a funeral for it. In fact, I'd mandate that each and every Evangelical Church yard have a funeral plot for such creatures, and every month the members can have a common funeral service for all the dearly departed that occurred that month. Then the preacher can go thunder in the pulpit right afterwards about the evils of birth control, and the reasons why the Lord Almighty wants you to use natural methods. Then they can have another round of the same next month...
