| The imaginary quickening, marks the period when our ancestors believed the foetus to become endued with life and soul. |
| If we find that the woman is positive for toxo, and has been infected during gestation, then there is a risk for the foetus to be infected. |
| The risk of a fatal outcome for the foetus is highest with infection during the second trimester. |
| Some men have even tried to prevent women having abortions on grounds that the unborn foetus belongs to them. |
| We ourselves have no memory of being in the womb, and thus we cannot really imagine a foetus being capable of happiness or pain. |
| It's just that if one sees the rights of the foetus as taking priority then one is subjugating the right of the mother unfairly. |
