Oh my, you've raised the pandora questions, haven't you! Good thought behind your inquiries and I shall beg permission to address them. If you don't mind an intrusion, may I address your questions, I hope in a fair way? I shall await your reply. The following are the points I would address:

1)– the life has no potential to develop unless it is implanted into a uterus.
2)- Given that there are medical conditions, which prevent any fertilised egg from implanting, if a woman who suffers from such ever has sex, does she risk consigning a potential human to death? How does this fit into the abortion issue?
3)- When ought newly conceived life be afforded protection from exploitation and death?

I know you didn't post this to me, but I couldn't resist :>

1)– the life has no potential to develop unless it is implanted into a uterus.

This is technically incorrect. The second the sperm penetrates the egg, the process of development starts. The egg begins internal processes which will begin to split it very shortly after conception. The egg, rich in oxygen and nutrients, is enough to sustain the newly developed, and developing, embryo long enough for it to reach the womb and get external sources of oxygen and nutrients (from the mom). The potential dissapears the second the egg is fertilized, and becomes active development: capability.

2)- Given that there are medical conditions, which prevent any fertilised egg from implanting, if a woman who suffers from such ever has sex, does she risk consigning a potential human to death? How does this fit into the abortion issue?

If the woman knew, for all certainty, that any embryo that would be made would die, I would say she shouldn't be taking the risk, or find someway to not take the risk (if she can't get pregnant, she should have her ovaries removed. She certainally can't use them. Unless a cure was found for her disease).

3)- When ought newly conceived life be afforded protection from exploitation and death?

From the start.
