Hospital birth *alone* is reported to cost at least $1000, to say nothing of pre-natal visits, post-partum checkups, etc. Your conflict of interest is a straw man. Experimentation on live aborted fetuses is wrong and should be stopped. But that does not imply that abortion should be stopped also. -- The above viewpoints are mine.
