Can a baby retain it's viability outside of the womb without a mother? A separate life still needs to be nurtured similarly to the way a mother's body takes care of it internally.

No, I will disagree with you. The abortions we see are not clusters of cells that could have been for anything. They are indeed humans in the process of development.

Wait stop, I didn't specify whether it HAD a mother or not, only that it was separate from the mother, as in, outside the womb. Before that crucial point (which keeps getting pushed closer and closer to conception by new discoveries) it is no more a baby than a clump of cells. If it can't survive outside of the mother even given our best medical science, it is then not a separate being. Even if the potential is there, it's only potential.

Hell, even tumors can grow teeth and hair! (See: teratoma)

As soon as abortion is made illegal I'm claiming my sperm as dependants on my w4 form.
