I described the stance which I believe is difficult to maintain. The Church has never made the argument that every unimplanted embryo is a miscarriage and thus a soul goes to its eternal resting place whenever an embryo doesn't implant. Which is why I believe the birth-control-as-abortifacient argument is hard to maintain.
As to "attack", I'm Catholic, mockingbyrd. Reading what I wrote (limbo has been discredited by many Catholic theologians) as an attack is quite far-fetched.
I am sorry for misreading your post. I confess, after some other posts (not on this thread), I tend to be a little sensitive. Please accept my apologies.
The Church does teach that life begins at conception. In ensouled is living, and the Church does teach that the soul enters the body at the moment of conception. Every child that fails to implant, for whatever reason, is a lost life, and a soul that will be reunited with the body at the General Judgement. Why these lives are created and end so quickly, well that's something only God knows.

Defining the beginning of life..... ahhh it seems everyone has an 'opinion'..........the partial birth abortionists say that it begins when the fetus is capable of living on its own apart from the mother,.... yank that 'parasite'(as they call it) out of the mother and if it lives apart from the mother, then you can call it human..... others say varying degrees of development to include the beating heart, etc....
more popular these days(to justify things like the morning after pill and oral contraceptives) is to say that life begins at implantation.
OK..... lets quit all of the semantics and be honest. When the sperm meets the egg and conception occurs..... when the two genetic codes unite and you have a genetically whole organism.... a zygote that is growing and seeking a home within the womb........
THIS IS WHEN LIFE BEGINS.
Yes, I said genetically whole organism. This is what you get at conception. Anyone care to argue this fact?
Bring it on.
I contend that murder is daily taking place and that semantics are a poor cover up....... all will be brought to light when it is too late for some.
