OUTWAYS At what point in a pregnancy do you personally feel that the unborn child's right to be born outweighs the woman's right to choose whether she wants to have a child -- at the moment of conception, at the moment she first feels movement inside her, at the moment when the baby could survive on its own, outside the womb, or at the moment of birth?   1) Moment of conception   2) When the mother first feels movement   3) When the baby could survive on its own   4) Moment of birth
