It's hard to believe in this day and age
sacrificing babies to medical science is okay

That's really bad expert advice if you ask me.
Embryo transfer is a valuable technique for overcoming infertility in women. It carries risks of infection for both donor and the recipient. It also carries the risk of unwanted pregnancy for the donor if the embryo implants in the uterine wall before it can be removed.

Implantation is the attachment of the fertilized egg when the fertilized egg (now called a blastocyst) has completed its travel through the fallopian tube and adheres to the lining of the uterus. Implantation happens about a week after ovulation with a range of 6-12 days after fertilization.

Conclusion:
It can be deduced that long term cryopreservation may result in chromosomal abnormalities and/or low viability.
In one sense, we are already using cryonics for family planning purposes: cryopreservation of embryos is often used in addition to in vitro fertilization (IVF) in order to save the extra embryos created in vitro for possible later implantation in utero.
Embryo cryopreservation is the process of preserving an embryo (at a pre-implantation stage, i.e. from day 2 to day 6 of development) in liquid nitrogen at minus 196 oC. Both vitrification and slow programmable freezing techniques are used to cryopreserve the embryo and to avoid ice crystal formation. According to the International Committee for the Monitoring of Assisted Reproductive Technology, at the moment hundreds of thousands of embryos are cryopreserved in fertility clinics all over the world and, from 2007 to 2013, 2.5 million babies were born through IVF techniques.1
IVF and embryo cryopreservation are relatively widespread and common techniques, and in some countries (such as the UK and Australia) their costs are (at least in part) subsidized by the public health system.
In principle, there is no reason to assume that cryopreservation would not work on embryos at the blastocyst stage or on a fetus (Pavone et al., 2011). Current embryo cryopreservation does not venture beyond the blastocyst stage, since it relies on natural implantation in the endometrium. If placental tissue could be cultured (for example by adopting methods from regenerative medicine), then fetal implantation outside the womb might become possible.

You keep on making claims without any supporting evidence. I posted the facts directly from a website that has done embryonic transfers successfully. You see, even at a ratio of 50%, it still gives a chance to the unborn to live, unlike abortion, which is the only choice the pro-choice crowd only talks about and brainwash women into believing "makes them free"...

So what about the rights of the mother & father?
Are they not heard?
Certainly it seems to me that you are completely ignoring them and focusing on a foetus.
And focusing on a foetus with absolutely no plan of what happens after it's born and with seemingly no inclination to do anything anyway.
We are talking about third trimester abortion. On the third trimester the human fetus is viable, and can even survive outside of the womb. What you are saying is that the right of the parents are more important than the right of the viable human fetus. Should we also give right to parents over the right of their newborn? After all, and again progressives have already laid the ground to move the goal of abortion to "after birth abortion". The only difference between a human fetus in the third trimester, and a newborn is that the newborn lives outside the woman's body. Is somehow the fact that the baby is outside the mother's womb made him human? In the third trimester human fetuses can feel pain, and an abortion causes not only pain to the viable human fetus, but death.

Nope.
No it wasn't.
I'd suggest the "debate" has been going on for centuries.
Unless of course you can show otherwise.
Yes it was... Margaret Sanger, the woman who helped fund Planned Parenthood was a eugenics advocate, a socialist, and more than that, she was even in favor of using terrorism, and assassinations to fulfill their socialist goals. She was in favor of birth control for the poor, and that's part of eugenics. To "cull the undesirables". In fact, it was Sanger who coined the term "birth control".

And no, the "pro-camp" doesn't have "complete disregard to the most innocent human lives" they want the right to be able to make a decision. That's it.
...
No?... Claiming that the human fetus is somehow not human?... That "it's like a virus" or making such other claims to disregard a human fetus even on the third trimester as having no rights is not a complete disregard to some of the most innocent human lives?

Actually, my argument is that if the "pro-choice crowd" was not about "pro-abortion" then why is it that we never hear the pro-choice crowd advice women that they could have embryo transfers instead of outright killing the unborn? If you look at any pro-choice protest what they call for is "abortion". In fact, pro-choice is "abortion rights" not truly about other choices but abortion.

Ins't ironic that the same people who claim it's ok to kill the unborn through abortion because then their body parts can be used for experiments, yet these are the same people who rant against animal experimentation?... The fact that to these people the life of an animal is more important than the life of human fetuses is a clear sign of the insanity of these days from the left. I am not in favor of abusing animals, but a human fetus' and newborn's life should be more important than an animal's life.

so, you are for forced birth, regardless....I guess that's what you call "freedom"
